About Us
How we LIVE UNITED
Congratulations, Matt and May Gunsul, Portland-area residents who won the 2009 LIVE UNITED video contest. The Gunsuls told us how they volunteer and advocate in the local community, through the video contest hosted by United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and KGW.com. They won roundtrip airfare to Maui via Alaska Airlines, thanks to United Way's good friends at Azumano Travel, and the opportunity to star in United Way commercials that will be aired on KGW Channel 8 and online at KGW.com
