In November, United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania’s Bridges Society and Next Gen Ambassadors gathered at Acruisure Stadium for the inaugural Giveback Games. Forty teams of young professionals came together for an evening of networking, friendly competition and a chance to learn more about United Way’s work throughout the region.  

And for those new to United Way, the evening was an opportunity to learn more about the Bridges Society and Next Generation donor groups. Bridges Society is a network of mid-career professionals and volunteers who donate $1,000 or more annually. Next Generation are 35 and under who demonstrate their commitment with their time and financial support that fits their budget. 

Emily Nally, Next Gen Ambassador and assistant athletic director at the University of Pittsburgh, gives us a look at the event and shares why she’s passionate about her contributions to United Way.
