Rocky Mount – Poyner & Spruill proudly participated in the 2007 Rocky Mount Area United Way campaign with a team effort.

Steve Rowe, an attorney in the Rocky Mount office, and a United Way board member, was pleased with the results: “Thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm and generosity, which resulted in a tremendous United Way campaign. The money raised will be used to help make our community a better place to work and live. A special thanks to Karen Bulluck for heading up the campaign.”

Bulluck, a legal secretary in the Rocky Mount office, acted as team leader, and got the competitive juices flowing. A friendly competition between floors spurred participation, and nearly 90% of the office contributed to the campaign. The Poyner & Spruill group raised over $6,000 for the United Way. “We had an awesome campaign and because of everyone's efforts there are many families in our area that will have a better year next year,” said Bulluck.
