The United Way used the Downtown Block Party and a good old dunk tank to raise money for their charitable efforts.

The group, its volunteers held a dunk tank event featuring local community leaders as targets.

And it was a popular event, raising $1,600 for the United Way

鈥淭his is a huge win for our community,鈥� stated the United Way in a press release. 鈥淯nited Way strives to achieve meaningful, long-term improvements to the quality of life in our communities. It was a great opportunity to dunk a local community leader/celebrity with all proceeds going towards improving lives and building a healthy, strong community.鈥�
