United Way Honors Donald F. Donahue

Donald F. Donahue, DTCC’s chairman and CEO, will be honored as a “Co-Community Quarterback” at United Way of New York City’s 2010 Gridiron Gala in May. The evening is one of New York City’s premier charity events, attracting some of the city’s leading business leaders and philanthropists.

DTCC and United Way have a deep and longstanding partnership that dates back decades. Donahue has served on United Way of New York City’s board of directors since 2008.

The Gridiron Gala, which annually raises over $1 million to fund a variety of United Way-led initiatives serving New York City’s children, is a 17-year partnership with the NFL’s New York Giants and the New York Jets. In addition to honoring Donahue, the event will pay tribute to David Arena, chairman and CEO of Grubb & Ellis Tri-State, and also honor Justin Tuck of the New York Giants and Alan Faneca of the New York Jets.

The 2010 Gala will take place on May 18 at the Waldorf-Astoria. For information about participating in this fundraising event, please contact Freya Grant in United Way’s benefit office, at 212.843.1743 or fgrant@hgnyc.com. @
