United Way of Coastal Carolina knows that people like you really want to make a difference in our community. You want to help others and United Way wants to be your partner. Our experience tells us that the best way to help the most people is to target our community's most serious problems and then focus on the underlying causes of those problems. It takes the whole community working together to be successful. United Way is the place where people gather across the community- people from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits and ordinary citizens-to tackle the issues that matter most. We currently fund 33 programs in Carteret, Craven Jones and Pamlico Counties. United Way is focused on changing lives, and improving our community everyday. We know that's what matters to you. Our mission is to mobilize the caring powers of communities. The United Way has been selected as a major charity for the BEAUFORT OFFSHORE CELEBRITY CLASSIC to be held August 27-30, 2008. You may visit www.unitedwaycoastalnc.org for more information on their organization.
For good. For ever.
