OSC's United Way Volleyball Tournament

On Friday, June 6, 2014, 322 participants came together for the 26th annual Otis/United Way Volleyball Tournament at the Otis Service Center in Bloomfield, CT. The event raised $14,020 for the United Way Community Campaign; a record amount!

Forty-seven teams came from as near as OSC and as far as Sikorsky in Stratford, CT. Most of the UTC companies were represented in the tournament: UTC Corporate, UTC Aerospace Systems, UTC Building & Industrial Systems, UTC Research Center, Otis of Farmington and Bloomfield, and Pratt & Whitney of East Hartford and Middletown. We also saw teams come from outside the UTC umbrella, A123Systems, Rock Engineering, Pfizer and Space Electronics.

The event was sponsored by AFD Industries, Inc., Allied Electronics, Automotive Resources International, Draka Elevator Products, Eurest Dining Services, Expeditors International, GBG The Corporate Gift Source, Kaman Industrial Technologies, KLN Logistics Corp., Magnetek, Mainfreight USA, Mr. Trophy & Company, Otis Service Center, Penmar Industries, Precision Engineering, SnapCab by Bostock, Standard Register and T.E.T. Mfg. Co.

The Otis Service Center United Way Committee would like to extend a special thank you to the tournament volunteers, team captains, Griffin Land, and the Grass Fours Volleyball League.

On behalf of the OSC United Way Committee, we thank you and look forward to next year!
