A Message from our CEO, Dr. Laurie GeorgeUniting and Inspiring the Next Generation of Givers

For more than 85 years, United Way of Palm Beach County has been the local leader dedicated to identifying and addressing critical community issues to improve the lives of our residents. We champion community change by strategically uniting key stakeholders and community leaders and investing in successful local nonprofits. United Way funds more than 80 programs that provide lasting solutions and measurable results – from increasing graduation rates and supporting literacy to ensuring financial independence, promoting healthy lifestyles and fighting hunger.

To keep United Way growing and strong, we are reaching out to leaders through two of our membership groups: Emerging Leaders Society and Women’s Leadership Council.

The Emerging Leaders Society (ELS) offers local young professionals exclusive events and volunteer projects to connect with other like-minded individuals. ELS has more than 200 members who have the opportunity to network and make an impact. For their most recent volunteer project, members boxed up food donations from the 24th annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive.

The Women’s Leadership Council (WLC) engages local women interested in strengthening their community through fundraising, volunteering, and networking. We have more than 300 members dedicated to creating impactful change in our community through the investment of their time, talent and resources. The Women’s Leadership Council in partnership with FPL raised $102,957 in October 2016 through an annual dinner. In April 2017, WLC hosted 25 middle school girls for a day of mentorship covering topics from career inspiration to confidence boosting.

Thank you for being a part of the amazing work of United Way! It takes all of us living united to help make sure everyone in Palm Beach County has access to the basics: a quality education, a safe place to sleep, financial stability, good medical care, and enough to eat.

meals and learn how to cook healthy meals on their own, they are better equipped for their daily work, which directly impacts the ways they support their families.

Jesus, a painter, construction worker, and father of two, is an El Sol client who benefits from the Eat Smart program. In November 2016, Jesus was shot outside a Home Depot in Jupiter while he was waiting for the store to open to buy supplies and go to work. In the days following Jesus’ injury, El Sol assisted his family by providing them healthy food supplies and other resources. While he is on the path to recovery,

El Sol continues to be of critical support to Jesus and his family. His wife has now become a regular worker in our labor hall. She comes frequently looking for work in housekeeping or anything else that will help pay the bills. When she does not find a job, she can have a hot, nutritious meal at El Sol. Jesus is still unable to work, but he likes to visit the center because he says everyone at El Sol helps lift his spirits.

Tocqueville Tuesday RECAP

March 14 | The Honda Classic Cares

Ken Kennerly is the Executive Director of The Honda Classic, one of the most highly anticipated stops for top draw golfers and patrons during the PGA Tour. Kennerly shared with Tocqueville Society members the challenges and triumphs of The Honda Classic since acquiring the event in 2007.

The premier professional sporting event continuously increases patron attendance each year, benefits the Palm Beach County community through increased tourism dollars, and vets some of the finest golfers and thrilling competition on the PGA Tour. However, The Honda Classic’s highest accolades are the millions of charitable dollars raised for The Honda Classic Cares that are directed to local nonprofits. Ken explained that the heart and mission of The Honda Classic is similar to that of United Way: to raise money for nonprofits that are working to improve the lives

of individuals in Palm Beach County, specifically youth. He shared the many ways individuals and corporations can give to worthy causes, such as through grants and Birdies for Children.

April 11 | Changing the Game for People with AutismLiezl Els shared her family’s personal story that led them to develop the The Els Center of Excellence. Her passion for making a space for children and adults with disabilities began when her son was diagnosed with autism. The idea for The Els Center of Excellence was born as she sought services for her son and realized the immense need for a central place where both children with disabilities and their families could receive support and life skills. Her passion and genuine concern for improving the lives of children with disabilities is evidenced by her efforts to equip the Center with the most highly trained and compassionate professionals in the field. She reiterated the need for respite care and applauded the work of United Way of Palm Beach County in facilitating the funding of such services. Liezl Els revealed future plans for the Center, which include a larger facility to accommodate a total of 300 children and adults with disabilities, as well as more services to support parents and families.

Tocqueville Tuesday will return October 10th!
