• Shoes and socks for three children 
• One hour therapy session for a patient/family
• Enhance the lives of the elderly
• Dementia care consultation for a patient/family
• Improve overall healthcare services
• $52 = $1,040 in health care services
• For every $1 donated, a total of $20 is leveraged for health care services for the uninsured

These reasons, and so many more, are why Morgan Robinson and Shelem (Couple #2) said yes to participating in the United Way’s annual Dancing with the Stars event.  They are incredibly grateful for your support as we work together to Live United and make a difference in our communities.
