6th Annual UPHS Celebration of Human Services

 
United Partners for Human Services (UPHS) hosted its 6th annual celebration August 23, at the Goodwood Museum to recognize and honor area nonprofits and human service agencies in the Big Bend community. Several hundred committed employees and their dedicated board of director members came together to celebrate their efforts. Many guests took the invitation to heart wearing everything from ball cap to top hat. The mood was easy and relaxed as several leaders in the community thanked members for their service. 

Tallahassee Community College President Jim Murdaugh attended the event acknowledging the importance of the UPHS membership, "we want to be the partner of choice for our community. Supporting the United Partners for Human Services is one more way we are able to achieve that goal, and, in the process, help make a positive impact on the lives of individuals in our community." 

Tallahassee Community College generously supported the event as its title sponsor. Other event sponsors included James Moore and Company, Strategic Benefits Group, Superior Painting and the United Way of the Big Bend. Capital City Bank, Tri-Eagle Sales and Photo Fun Booth supported the event with in-kind donations. Entertainment generously donated by area talent included local legends and heroes Mimi and the Hearndogs, national dulcimer champ Aaron O'Roarke, and regional fiddle champion Aisha Ivey.
