OSC's United Way Volleyball Tournament

After 3 rainouts, on Friday, July 26, 2013, about 180 participants came together for the 25th annual Otis/United Way Volleyball Tournament at the Otis Service Center in Bloomfield, CT. The event raised $10,810 for the United Way Community Campaign.

Most of the UTC companies were represented in the tournament: UTC Corporate of Hartford, Hamilton Sundstrand of Windsor Locks, Otis of Farmington and Bloomfield, Pratt & Whitney of East Hartford and Middletown, and Carrier of Farmington. We also saw teams come from outside the UTC umbrella, including New Hartford Parks & Recreation and Pfzer.
