What would most people do if they won $10,000 worth of food? Keep it? Share the food with family?

For Lehighton resident and PPL project manager Nolan LeBlanc, the answer was easy. He plans on donating a majority of his winnings to local food banks and organizations helping to feed homeless children in Allentown.LeBlanc was presented Wednesday with a symbolic big check for $10,000 worth of groceries from the Allentown Wegmans.The grand prize was for donors who increased their giving amount or donated a minimum of $260 for the first time to the United Way of Greater Lehigh Valley's 2013 campaign.All donors were entered into a pool for a chance to win the top prize as an incentive to give their hard-earned money to Lehigh Valley charities.LeBlanc said he was shocked when he received a call informing him he had won the top incentive prize, as he had not realized such an outstanding reward was available."I do not contribute to United Way because there are prizes to win or because of peer pressure, but simply because there are so many people who are less fortunate than I am, and do not have the opportunities I was given in my own life," LeBlanc said. "United Way is a great means of helping people in need, and they make it easy and convenient to give back to the community in which I live and work."I'm looking forward to paying it forward."LeBlanc and his wife, Virginia, in addition to donating their resources to humanitarian causes, also have been giving their time and funds to animal shelters since 2009 as rescue dog foster parents.The LeBlancs make an effort to save dogs from "high kill" centers through New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue and Almost Home Dog Rescue. So far, the LeBlancs have fostered 125 canines needing love and a temporary home.The couple hope the newfound money will offset the cost of feeding dogs they will foster in the future.Lenore Mohr, senior director of marketing and communications at United Way, praised LeBlanc for his charitable spirit."There is spectacular generosity in the Lehigh Valley," Mohr said. "The fact Nolan LeBlanc already gave of himself and is going to continue the giving cycle with his prize-winnings is exciting."The mission of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley is to provide the leadership, convene the partnerships, and develop the resources and solutions which improve the community. Through partners such as Wegmans, United Way is able to do just that, she said.Bonnie Fisher, service area manager for Wegmans, said United Way's partnership with Wegmans afforded them an invaluable opportunity to give back to their community.Director of Workplace Campaigns at United Way Phillip St. James presented LeBlanc with his check."Sometimes great things happen to great people," St. James said.
