LIVE UNITED

When a community needs help, a call goes out for a special group of people to come together and do whatever is needed to make things right. This Year’s group is made up of outstanding leaders in their field and will play a significant role in their individuals companies. Today, our community is sending out the message. State and federal funding for important health- and social-service programs is in serious jeopardy and is happening at a time when people in the Big Bend need these services more than ever. Warm meals need to be delivered to seniors, children continue to need quality daycare, and people experiencing homelessness need emergency shelter – despite deep budget cuts.

 

You have all agreed to help us raise the money to help fill some of these gaps. We applaud you and stand ready to help you in any way we can. This toolkit is designed to start you on your way as you and your co-workers make a choice to change lives and answer the community’s call. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
