University Human Resources wants to thank the NC State community for helping make the second annual Red and White Fest: An Employee Celebration a howling success. We are elated that so many of you attended the fest on Oct. 27 and showed off your Pack pride. Please complete this survey to help us plan future Red and White Fest events.
Below is a recap of the fest, including contest winners and a photo gallery.
Cornhole Contests
The stakes were high, and so was the competition, for the cornhole contests. Twenty-four teams competed in three rounds of contests. Each member of the winning teams received basketballs autographed by NC State legend Dereck Whittenburg, who was a member of the 1983 NC State basketball national championship team. Here are the winners by round:
- First round: William Stanfield and Hunter Toms.
- Second round: Allen Moore and Jeff Keele.
- Third round: Dan Line and Ben Line.
Pack Pride Contest
We asked employees to send us a photo, short video or essay that describes why they are proud to be a member of the Wolfpack community. We accepted individual and team submissions. Here are the winners:
- Angela Nicholson, an onboarding specialist at the NC State Onboarding Center, is the individual submission winner.
- The Preventions Services team in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs is the team submission winner.
Feed the Pack Donation Contest
Colleges and divisions competed to see who could collect the most donations for the Feed the Pack food pantry. Collectively, the competitors donated approximately 300 pounds of food to the pantry. The Office of Finance and Administration donated the most food and is the Red and White Fest Champion for a second consecutive year.
Gift Basket Giveaway
Coldwell Banker attended the fest to promote REAP Rewards, an incentive program that helps NC State employees buy and sell houses and offers discounts and cash-back rewards. During the fest, NC State employees entered a raffle to win a gift basket. Melissa Cetola, a REAP Rewards realtor/broker, presented baskets to the winners: Deidre Hartley and Monterro Graham.
Gift Card Giveaway
Moving With the Pack, another program that assists employees with finding, buying and selling homes, also promoted its services at the fest. The service gave an Angus Barn gift card to NC State employee Susan Chen.
