CASS PALMER President and CEO United Way of Southern Nevada
EMILY T. NEILSONVolunteer Board Chairman United Way of Southern Nevada
37 NEW CAMPAIGNS. 279 NEW HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. 9,500 VOLUNTEERS. 350 PRESCHOOL SCHOLARS. These may seem like numbers, but we urge you to look beyond the numbers to the faces behind them. To consider the “ripple effect” of what our work does. A high schooler is the first in his family to receive a high school diploma. He was on course to drop out but now, he is getting ready for college. Just think how that ripple effect comes into play. That child is changing not only his own odds, but that of his family, his future family, his neighborhood, his future workplace, his community, and his national economy. The 2013-2014 campaign year has been one full of wonder, pride and collaboration by so many dedicated people. With 37 new campaigns and over 350 United Way workplace campaigns across the Valley, companies are uniting for a better future for southern Nevada. These dedicated people share one thing in common; they have worked together to change the course of many lives. It is you who have caused ripples in the water.
Every day we are reminded of the collective power we have, power generated by the joint efforts of so many talented people who give so much of themselves to create a better and brighter southern Nevada. With our sincerest thanks, we’d like to recognize each and every person who touches our organization. Whether it is by giving, volunteering an hour or a day, or by rallying others and advocating on behalf of our initiatives, it is your support that helps firmly build a stronger foundation for our community. This year, we have so many successes for which to be grateful.
Through our combined time, talent and resources, we are shaping a preschooler’s education, so she faces better, more promising life outcomes. Without you, Holly would not have had the opportunity to start her two children off on the right foot. Both Gabriel and Lily are at Griffith United Methodist preschool thriving, thanks to our work in education. We are giving underinsured children a medical home, preventative care and immunizations. Leah would not have access to lifesaving asthma medication without having a lifeline to the Martinez Elementary Health Clinic, opened in the February of 2014. Fikreabe reminds us of how powerful knowledge is. He is learning how to save, this year saving $2,000 at the “Piggy Bank” and gaining financial literacy skills that will serve him an entire lifetime. Keep an eye on this young man, as he has his goals set high to be a surgeon one day. He is also teaching his parents about saving. Think of these three stories and the ripples that encircled these children as they get on their way with a healthier foundation and the ability to influence so many other lives around them.
This strong foundation of support, partnership and belief in a better tomorrow has enabled us to achieve far-reaching goals in the areas of Education, Health and Financial Stability. The numbers of lives we have touched is staggering, but not only that, it is the fact that this influence has created a new path, a new future, a completely redirected route to success for so many people. We have seen perspectives change through transformative volunteer projects. To get out of our normal comfort zones and to work shoulder to shoulder with new people to read to children, beautify a neighborhood, or to assist someone through a complex tax preparation is life-changing, for the volunteer and for the community itself.
You are volunteering, attending meetings, rallying friends, family and co-workers around the idea that everything you do causes those life changing ripples in the water. We are proud to stand with you as our partners, supporters and friends. Every day, we continue to build our future through the collective action that you bring through your efforts. For helping one person truly helps so many more. Touching one life touches so many other lives. Success is that ripple in the water, flowing out to so many others.
On behalf of your many friends throughout United Way and within this community, thank you for what you do to impact lives. Thank you for believing, for doing, for dreaming.
Together, we CAN change lives. Together, we ARE changing lives. Together, we LIVE UNITED.
Sincerely,
OUR 4
