LIVE UNITED A constant reminder that when we, as
individuals, think outside ourselves, we have the
power to facilitate change. When we think of
others' lives as linked to our own, our
compassion grows. When we reach out a hand to
one, we influence the condition of all. We build
the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the
health of our communities. And we change the
lives of those who walk by us every day. GIVE.
ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER. United, we can change what
we see in our world. Live United is about the
power of unity.
