At Hoefer Welker Architects, we know that people really want to make a difference, but it takes all of us, working together to make real change happen. The week of October 26th-30th HWA participated in our 3rd annual corporate United Way campaign to raise money for United Way. Each year a theme is incorporated to encourage team work around the office. This year’s theme was Movie/Cinema Week. **Throughout the week HWA raised $25,000. Go HWA!**

Thank you to HWA staff who volunteered at Kansas City [American Cancer Society Hope Lodge](http://www.cancer.org/docroot/COM/content/div_Heartland/COM_11_2x_Kansas_City_Hope_Lodge.asp).

Special thanks to our sponsors: [Panera Bread](http://www.panerabread.com/) and [Velvet Creme Popcorn](http://www.velvetcremepopcorn.com/).

Dividing the office into four teams, each day we dressed up as characters from different movies and participated in fund-raising activities.

On Friday, an “Academy Awards” ceremony was held to recognize participation and award those that raised the most money.
