This is a post about the United Way… NOT Manchester United. Although I think I could do one on MU shortly as their global educational initiative has helped millions in over 100 countries as well. The United Way is a century old organization that has changed the lives of millions through the work of thousands of regional offices. Their new campaign is “live united” and they have a special website setup for it at http://www.liveunited.org/ United Way has always tried to live by the credo that you can feed a man for a day by giving him a fish but you can feed a family for a lifetime by teaching a man how to grow or catch his own fish. They try to get to the root of the problem which is why I like them. Almost every Fortune 1000 company I every worked for in the last 25 years had a major United Way charity campaign but I did not see that kind of effort in the last couple years.
