HARTFORD--With the red carpet rolled out and “Joan Rivers” greeting guests, United Way honored several local organizations and their employees Friday evening at its sold out Best Of Awards event. The Academy Awards themed gala at The Bond Ballroom in Hartford recognized organizations and individuals across central and northeastern Connecticut who demonstrated outstanding effort and creativity in leading the 2011 United Way Community Campaign at their workplaces.

Every 15 minutes, someone dies by suicide in this country. And for every victim of suicide, at least six people’s lives are intimately affected. But there are things we can do to help.

On this month's United Way Community Connections, aired live on WTIC 1080-AM, we learned how we can decrease the risk of suicide for ourselves and those we care about. We discovered the warning signs that someone needs help and examined ways we can help those who are struggling with suicide and behavioral health issues.

Student behavior and performance is improving in three New Britain middle schools, due in large part to an innovative classroom management model supported by United Way and other local partners, including the Community Chest of New Britain and Berlin.

United Way thanks the following workplaces for participating in the 2011 United Way Community Campaign by running an employee campaign, making a corporate gift, or serving as a sponsor or media partner.
