NORWICH – The Chenango United Way raced towards its goal Tuesday, literally. Five extremely agile Chenango Memorial Hospital employees competed for sponsorships to conclude the United Way’s in-house fundraising campaign, coordinated by Linda Lewis-Moors, Heather Anderson, Kim McCarthy and Alisha Oliver.

“The in-house campaign is a way to provide incentive and to increase participation for our employees,” said Elizabeth Monaco, executive director for the United Way. “It’s a great way to rally the troops.”

Armed with small “hobby horses,” the five competitors (joined by several non-sponsored co-workers) raced about the hospital in an effort to locate individually-labeled horseshoes. “They agreed to do it because they’re all just such great sports,” said Lewis-Moors.
