Hundreds of young professionals got their schmooze on at United Way Ottawa’s signature social networking and fundraising combo night, held at City Hall’s Jean Pigott Place on Thursday.
Schmoozefest 2014 raised $31,232 — pushing past last year’s total of $25,000 — for the Lunch Box Program that provides healthy and nutritious food to vulnerable children and youth.
It was hosted by a group of volunteers belonging to United Way’s GenNEXT cabinet. It brings together young adults from the millennial generation who share an interest in making new friends and getting involved in the community.

“Every time I turn around I meet somebody new; somebody who does something completely different from what I do, and they’ve taken a different career path than I have, as well,” Chris McPhee told Around Town of his experience at Schmoozefest. McPhee is the chair of the GenNEXT cabinet and an IT strategy manager with sponsor Accenture, a management consulting, technology and outsourcing company.
Also mingling in the crowd of 400-plus people were 40 more-established professionals, called People 2 Know. They included Police Chief Charles Bordeleau, Bluesfest and Folk Festival director Mark Monahan, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group president Jeff Hunt and LiveWorkPlay co-founder Julie Kingstone. United Way Ottawa Community Campaign co-chairs Yaprak Baltacioglu, Secretary of the Treasury Board, and Mark Sutcliffe, a Citizen columnist, CFRA broadcaster and CEO of Great River Media, were part of this group, as well.
Since there’s no such thing as a free lunch, partygoers were encouraged to purchase deferred meal items and put together healthy Lunch Box brown bags with other purchasers of a virtual sandwich, juice or piece of fruit. In return, they were entered into a raffle to win two flights anywhere Porter Airline flies and a pair of festival passes to Bluesfest 2015.
