  "I Live United because I was raised in a community and family where education and health were important and a focus of our day to day lives.  I saw first hand what can happen when everyone is responsible and accountable for their own actions and what can be accomplished when many hands work together for the common good.  The impact of the United Way in our community is something that inspires me to Give, Advocate, and Volunteer.  I Live United because of the difference I see that the United Way makes in the lives of those around me in our community and our area."
