Qualtek Manufacturing employees used contributions to United Way to vote for colleagues to receive a pie in the face. “Winners” were Jim Chamberlin and Denise Quintana. CEO Troy Roberts had a great time delivering a pie right in the kisser to Jim. And CFO Tom Drago really enjoyed smearing a pie in Denise’s face. The week-long events of fundraising included bake sales and raffles and raised $3,615 for United Way. Qualtek knows how to have fun while helping the community!
