The breakfast was sponsored by Time Warner Cable and honored leadership giving to Triangle United Way from individuals in Durham, Orange and Wake counties.
In addition, to the keynote address from Laviolette, members of the United Way supported program Second Round provided a boxing demonstration. Second Round is a program of Haven House that offers a boxing program that provides an alternative to gangs for young men in Wake County.
“I firmly believe Leadership Matters or I wouldn't be here,” said Tocqueville Society Chairman Mark Ascolese of Ascolese Enterprises, Inc. “If we don’t do it who will?” asked Ascolese to the crowd over 60 Tocqueville Society members and prospects.
