WE L C O M E
Dear Friends,
We are very proud of the work being done and are deeply grateful for the contributions of so many
individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations that partner with United Way. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
When you give to United Way, you ensure children and families receive the support they
need to succeed:
 Access to a quality early education to provide a solid foundation
 Medical check-ups and vaccinations to start school on-time
 Parent training and resources to improve graduation rates

C O MMUNI T Y I MPA C T | E A R LY E D UC AT IO N
the impact early education makes on
the community
In order to help children succeed, we are
focusing our resources on providing a
quality early education during their most
formative years so children begin school
ready to learn.
The impact of early education:
 Increase in high school graduation rates
 Increase in skilled employees
 Reduce the number of those in poverty
 Attract more businesses and increase
job opportunities
Studies found those who went to preschool:
 Had improved school performance with
increased math and language abilities
 Had improved peer interactions
 Were more likely to graduate high
school
 Were more likely to hold a job
 Had higher annual earnings

TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY
As a Tocqueville Society donor, through the “Specialized Funding
Opportunities” program you can choose how your contribution
is invested. For those who are passionate about dental health,
you can help children like Carolina access dental care.
Carolina’s mom Maria did not have the resources to take
Carolina to the dentist. Through your support, Carolina is now
receiving preventative dental care and learning good dental
habits early so hopefully she never has to struggle with cavities
and painful dental decay.
“More than 51 million school attendance hours were lost
last year in this nation due to children with oral disease,”
said Nancy Dockery, Future Smiles Program Manager. “We can
help prevent that.”
STEP UP AND BE COUNTED – TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY STEP-UP PROGRAM
Step-up program participants are recognized as members of the Tocqueville Society and they agree
to reach the Tocqueville Society giving level of $10,000 at the conclusion of the third year of the
program.

Tocqueville Society because it is the right thing to do. I
find it rewarding to give back to the community and see the

Summer, a single mom who lives
paycheck to paycheck, is challenged
with raising her active four-year old son,
Daylon and juggling school and a career.
Without United Way’s support, Summer
would not have been able to send her son

They come from two different
worlds but Alyssa Mayor and
Megan Thompson have one
distinct commonality, both were in
need of help to attend college and
received the United Way Women’s
Leadership Council Emerging
Leadership Award for Women.
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.

WLC MISSION:
Engage and develop our members to be leaders in creating impactful change in our community
through education, health and financial stability.
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.

With his sights set on being a
professional soccer player, Emmanuel
may only be in second grade but he
knows it’s going to take a lot of work
to accomplish his dream.
A creative, imaginative and active
boy, Emmanuel likes art and drawing
Captain America. If his dreams of
becoming a soccer player don’t work
out, Emmanuel has a back-up plan.
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.”

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.
Books and Buddies helps facilitate reading
and literacy in the home. YPS’ support of
this program allows for expansion of this
program to reach an additional 150 at-risk
children in partnership with Spread the Word
Nevada. Through mentoring, book supplies,
and comprehension inquiry, post-test
results demonstrate the effectiveness of this
important mentoring program.
With a commitment to children and their health, YPS
helped 2,500 children access Desert Reign’s Sports
and Nutrition Camps for children in 2014.
UNIT ED WAY H E R O E S
YPS expanded their reach into the community by their
partnership with the Down Syndrome Organization of
Southern Nevada via the Learning Program, designed to
deliver evidence based educational support to children,
parents and teachers in the areas of literacy and math.
Offered throughout the school year, this program provides
additional individualized instruction to children and their
caregivers, so their needs are met and they have the greatest
chances for success. YPS’ partnership allows this valuable
program to double their capacity and allows for a second age
group, 7-8 year olds, to receive this critical support.

Camps provide immersion into physical activity and
fitness as well as the ABCs of proper nutrition and
healthy eating. These camps aid in helping children
succeed cognitively, socially and athletically.

“I’ve supported United Way since
2004 because the organization
provides me with a level of comfort
that the financial resources are
being put to the best use, and I
know I’m helping those in my own
community.”
Andrea Smith |Director,

United Way works to eradicate
poverty through the Southern
Nevada Capacity Building VISTA
project. The project’s overall goal
is to enrich the lives of southern
Nevadans by strengthening UWSN
partner agencies.
VISTA members like Kiah and Alex
help with the operations of local
nonprofits and have implemented
programs that will have a lasting
impact on our community.
Kiah developed a strategy to increase
access to quality early childhood
education. Alex organized and
contracted a major media feature
on a Spanish news station to help a
nonprofit gain increased exposure
and support for their community
work.
Through your support VISTA
members have engaged 2,500
volunteers and more than $14,000
in resources in 2014-15.

Capucine Dean now has the tools
she needs to help young preschool
learners in her classroom be prepared
for kindergarten through United
Way’s early education training.
“My students have learned to talk to
each other and problem solve. They
can now look at a problem and figure
it out,” said Capucine.
Through the training, Capucine
learned effective strategies to capture
children’s attention so they recognize
their numbers, alphabet and begin to
learn how to write.
“After the training I learned it’s all
about the kids. They become better
students when I know how to teach
them.”
THROUGH YOUR SUPPORT:
MORE THAN 79,873 HOURS OF
TRAINING WERE PROVIDED
TO EARLY EDUCATORS
SINCE 2010.

Immunizations can save your
child’s life. 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.

Deploying volunteers in the community, UWSN manages the AmeriCorps
national service program. Service members like Hector Lizaola help families,
students and children live better lives. Hector helps students learn how
to save through the YPS “Piggy Bank” Program. Encouraging students to
save for their goals, Hector also uses his bilingual skills to help parents and
students learn the importance of saving.
Helping students with their homework and graduate from high school,
serving food to families in need, leading youth leadership camping and
hiking trips and teaching students how to apply for college, AmeriCorps
members become role models to the students and children they serve.

Bringing together companies, volunteers
and resources to meet the growing needs of
our community, United Way’s Community
Engagement Team has led more than 20
projects this year. A trusted resource, for the
second year United Way connected the Paris,
Bally’s and Planet Hollywood management
team volunteers with a volunteer opportunity
to make a big difference.
Creating an inviting haven for students,
teachers and parents of Walter V. Long
Elementary School, volunteers saw a marked
change in just a couple of hours.

Engaging families in their children’s early learning is pivotal to ensuring that our future
generation can read, write and has the tools they need to succeed in school and in
life. Through United Way’s Family Engagement Resource Centers at local preschools,
caregivers and parents like Shelley, Amanda’s mom, receive training and insight on how
to help their children learn during the most formative years.
“They are awesome because you learn what is going on and how to incorporate what
your child is learning in school to help encourage your child to learn,” said Shelley. “Now,
Amanda is ready for kindergarten and has the skills to interact with other children and
the educational structure she needs to succeed.”

“I love to volunteer and give back!”
exclaimed Lynn. “It’s that rewarding
feeling of being a part of making
someone’s life better or sharing our
blessings that supersedes the work.”
In her position, Lynn has the unique
opportunity to work with companies
visiting the Valley that are planning
engagement opportunities for their
employees.
“We make their vision a reality,”
said Lynn. “I am so moved by large
corporations that take time out of
their training or conference schedule
to leave a positive, progressive mark
in Las Vegas.”

With more than 500 people in
attendance, United Way of Southern
Nevada’s “Flip Through Summer,” a
free family fun summer kickoff event
at Springs Preserve in 2015 was an
absolute success. 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.

We provide an umbrella of support
for the entire community by
managing workplace campaigns at
more than 300 companies. Through
your support, we deploy strategic
campaigns that raise more than
$6.1 million for hundreds of
nonprofits serving our community.
With generous support to
organizations like St. Jude’s Ranch
for Children, Inc.; Catholic Charities
of Southern Nevada; Nathan
Adelson Hospice, Inc.; American Red
Cross; Safe Nest/TADC; The Shade
Tree and Salvation Army Clark
County Command, our workplace
campaign touches the lives of one in
four living in southern Nevada.
Through our workplace campaign,
we help to ensure that those in
need are fed and receive shelter and
that no one ends the journey of
life alone, afraid or in pain through
hospice services. At-risk children,
young adults and families are
empowered to create a new future
in a caring community. We help
to provide disaster-related relief
assistance and shelter for children,
families and women and addiction
recovery programs.

Erin Peace was not convinced that
early childhood education was
important until she sent her two
children, Jaxon age five and Jaydon
age two, to a quality early childcare
center. Now she has a different
perspective.
“I have seen such a significant
development in both of them,”
explained Erin. “It’s completely
changed my mind about early
childhood education.”
Without United Way’s help, Erin’s
children would not be able to attend
preschool.
“Preschool is important for my
children’s educational, social and
emotional development,” said Erin.
“They are able to grasp and learn a lot
more and work in teams. I have seen
it made a difference in the lives of my
children and others as well.”
