Without the support of the entire community, it would be all but impossible to fulfill our mission. For nearly a decade, United Ways around the country have been slowly transforming away from serving only as community fundraisers to a more essential role as catalysts for systemic community change. This journey has not taken place in isolation. United Way’s current focus on community impact has taken place alongside parallel developments in the field of community revitalization and advances in collective impact. By bringing people and organizations together around innovative solutions, we change the lives of one in four people in southern Nevada. When you support United Way, you help to provide a solid educational foundation so that children enter school prepared, graduate high school and continue to contribute to their communities. You help to ensure that children and families can live healthy lives and have the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty. Throughout 2015 HEROES you will read the stories of the lives that were changed through the collective action and support of our community. Children have received a quality early education, volunteer hours have been deployed, teachers have received training and families in need have received crucial help. Because of you, United Way is able to provide an umbrella of support services through a host of agencies and organizations impacting our whole community. Sincerely, Bob Morgan President and CEO United Way of Southern Nevada Greg Korte Volunteer Board Chairman United Way of Southern Nevada UNIT ED WAY H E R O E S We thank each of United Way’s many HEROES across the valley who have joined their resources and stepped forward like never before to create a brighter future for southern Nevada. 2 0 1 5 On behalf of the board of directors, we wholeheartedly express our gratitude for all that you do to make a real difference. Whether you join our thousands of community volunteers, give through your workplace campaign, or participate in our community work, you are a part of the change that we are creating in the community. 01 COMMUNITY IMPACT PR O V IDI NG A N UMB R E L L A O F C O MMUNI T Y S UP P ORT providing a solid foundation to break the cycle of poverty United Way of Southern Nevada is part of a worldwide movement to create communities where all children and families can succeed through a quality educational foundation, financial education and healthy lives. United Way helps children and families throughout the Valley succeed. Our strategy is to provide a solid foundation with an early education for children to enter school ready to learn. We provide medical check-ups and vaccinations to start school on-time and parent training and resources to improve graduation rates. We provide cradle-to-career support for children, because the global economy demands education beyond high school. A better educated community leads to enhanced economic development and an expansion of work opportunities resulting in a better quality of life for the entire community. To find out how you can be a part of creating a better community, contact United Way of Southern Nevada at (702) 892-2300. UNIT ED WAY H E R O E S Households that are financially stable create a stronger community and economy. United Way helps families build a firm financial foundation by connecting them with job training, stable housing and financial tools. By bringing together partners from businesses, community organizations and local government, we can help more families in our community break the cycle of poverty and succeed in life. 2 0 1 5 To ensure that today’s students are equipped for 21st century challenges, we provide financial education beginning in elementary school, teaching them how to save, budget and use credit wisely. These life skills, once learned and mastered, contribute to a lifelong cycle of success and financial independence. 03 GOAL: EVERY CHILD WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION. providing a solid early education foundation The beginning years are essential for learning, yet Nevada ranks last in the nation in preschool enrollment. Research shows that capturing a child’s imagination at an early age leads to reading at grade level in the third grade, which contributes to a higher percentage of children graduating from high school.

In southern Nevada, the WLC has raised almost $1.9M in just eight years, investing their dollars in crucial projects which are changing lives. From teaching children through innovative early learning techniques, improving math and reading scores for K-7th students, empowering at-risk students to graduate high school, providing scholarships for young women, helping families become financially self-sufficient and providing medical services for abused and homeless women and children, these dynamic and generous women are truly change agents for the community.

These items are donated to agencies serving women in back-to-work programs. While we gathered almost 12,000 items in November 2014, it takes just one suit to enable success and independence. Through this community event, we really are changing lives, one hanger at a time! 14 WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP COUNCIL United Way of Southern Nevada gratefully acknowledges the 2014-15 Women’s Leadership Council Co-chairs, Rhonda Clausen and Angel Williams and all of the committee co-chairs and members. 2014-2015 women’s leadership council TANYA LACOSSE KIMBERLY PLANCHUNAS TINA ANDERSON BARBARA DOBLE DEE LADD AUDREY PLOTKIN ANNE ANIELLO-WAYMAN SALLIE DOEBLER JOYCELYNN LAGULA MICHELLE POLISANO JOY AVEDESIAN JULIE DONOHUE LAWREL K.

Alyssa was born in Quezon City, Philippines and moved to Las Vegas in the summer of 2004. There are many career options in Alyssa’s horizon, but she definitely has a bright future. “This award is so important to me because I am surrounded by people who never stop changing the world for the better, and I strive to become like them,” said Alyssa. With aspirations of competing as Miss USA, Megan was appointed to the Nevada Youth Legislature for the 2013-15 session and is actively engaged in the community. “This award helps financially fund my opportunity to acquire a college education so that I can use my degree and my career as the catalyst to do bigger and better things for my community and my country,” explained Megan. 2 0 1 5 SANDRA L.

Supporting girls in the lifelong endeavor to increase physical activity and healthy eating, WLC sponsored this fun run and development program for Girls on the Run, which incorporates positive youth development curricula. It’s an amazing progam that includes exercise, mentoring, learning and goal setting. The WLC Family Engagement Resource Centers (FERCs) are located in four local high schools and target underserved teens who are at risk of dropping out. Through their involvement, these teens and their families receive resources to strengthen the home-school connection and assist in keeping students on track to graduate. The FERCs are located at Clark, Sunrise Mountain, Eldorado and Silverado. In 2014, the very first cohort of this project reached graduation eligibility. We proudly watched 434 seniors who had been identified by CCSD as having a 100 percent risk of dropping out, walk the stage to receive their diploma. In partnership with Spread the Word Nevada, the WLC sponsors “Breakfast with Books” once a month. Families are treated to a light breakfast, a book reading, and a free developmentally appropriate and enriching book to build their home libraries. The excitement and smiles on the children’s faces as they choose their new books are truly heartwarming. This important program promotes English literacy and fluency by increasing the number of available tools to promote language acquisition. The participating elementary schools are Jeffers, Paradise, Petersen, Twin Lakes and Whitney. 16 YOUNG PHILANTHROPISTS SOCIETY Lawrel K.

He wants to become an FBI agent, “to make the world a better place.” Through the “Piggy Bank” program at his school, Walter Bracken STEAM Academy, Emmanuel is learning how to save. “When I told my parents I had saved $705 dollars they were really happy because all that I have been saving is going to go for my college,” said Emmanuel. A hard worker, Emmanuel earns money by working around the house and helping his father with projects like fixing the refrigerator. “If you get more money you can save for college,” said Emmanuel. “So you can reach your goal and do whatever you want afterwards.” YOUNG PHILANTHROPISTS SOCIETY 2014-2015 young philanthropists society helping children succeed YPS MISSION: To make a difference in children’s lives through volunteerism, mentorship and events by harnessing the energy, commitment and diverse skills sets of the next generation of leaders.

Because of advances in medical science, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children, have been eliminated completely and others are close to extinction – primarily due to safe and effective vaccines. Polio was once America’s most-feared disease, causing death and paralysis across the country, but today, thanks to vaccinations, there are no reports of polio in the United States. Immunization protects others you care about, can save your family time and money and ensures that your child will be able to attend school. KEVIN M.

A special day of celebration, imagination and the magic of some of the most beloved books and characters, children got excited about reading and writing and pledged to read 8,211 books throughout the summer. During this family fun-filled event, children lined up to add their own flair to the ‘The World’s Greatest Story” and visited themed book nooks with live characters reading favorite children’s books. The event also featured a book swap, live entertainment, face painting, childfriendly activities, special giveaways, community family resources and complimentary ice cream and Starbucks coffee and tea. The event encourages summer reading, since children can lose as much as three months of reading comprehension during the summer. 38 SANDRA SPIVEY U.S. Bank MICHAEL AND LYNETTE SPOTOFORA NV Energy Wells Fargo Boyd Gaming Corporation STEPHANIE STALLWORTH Cox Communications IDA STATEN Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department PHYLLIS STEAD Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center LINDA STINAR CenturyLink CHRISTINE STOCKMAN Sandia National Laboratories MICHAEL TOVEY NV Energy Wells Fargo TISH SULLIVAN NV Energy ELLEN J.
