The UWGN Young Professionals Network is excited to announce our holiday season community service event! On Thursday, Dec. 15, the Young Professionals Network will host our Build-A-Bear, Give-A-Bear Fundraiser at the Build-A-Bear Workshop in Paramus Park Mall from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. 

All YPN members and sponsors of this event will build and dress bears while they network and mingle. All of the bears that we build will then be donated to local at-risk children within our community.

We hope to see you there so that we can make this a great holiday season for the youth of the greater Newark area! much time working virtually, United Way of Greater Newark is looking forward to providing many young professionals with the opportunity to meet and network face-to-face for possibly the first time.
