Valley of the Sun United Way has big aspirations for this community and for every person

who lives here: a safe place to live, food on the table, a good education for our kids and

the stability of financial independence.

These are aspirations we all share for our families and by supporting United Way, you’re

making these aspirations a reality for thousands of families across the Valley.

That’s one of the hallmarks of United Way: providing meaningful, impactful and convenient

ways for businesses and individuals to transform lives and our entire community. What

other organization could bring together:

By coming together through United Way, this year alone you’ve contributed $25,235,000

to help achieve our Community Objectives: 1) Ensure Children and Youth Succeed; 2) End Hunger and Homelessness; and, 3) Increase the Financial Stability of Families.

This is only the beginning. Many of you have told us you’d like more opportunities to

engage even more—so whether you want to volunteer with your kids, network with

young professionals, tutor a child or join an action team focused on high school

graduation, United Way offers many ways for you, your business and your employees

to make a difference.

You’ll see examples throughout this publication. None of them would be possible without

your support.

On behalf of United Way, the Board of Directors and, most importantly, the many kids,

adults and families you’ve helped, we say, “Thank you.”

We will have the biggest impact on our community

by focusing on our children from pre-K to career

success. Research cites four key benchmarks for

student success: readiness to begin kindergarten,

ability to read at grade level by the fourth grade,

the skill levels in math to transition smoothly from

middle school to high school, and the skills training

needed to pursue continuing education and a career.

Your support is providing our students with the tools

they need to succeed at each of these educational

benchmarks and beyond.

Our Virtual Tutoring program

ensures that children like Jaffet will

be reading at grade level by the fourth

grade—one of the key factors in

long-term success in school. Virtual

Tutoring allows volunteers to work

with students from remote locations.

Jaffet’s volunteer tutor provides weekly

1-to-1 attention so that Jaffet is ready

to move from learning to read, to

reading to learn. In the first year,

176 volunteers from 12 companies

worked to ensure our children reach

this important benchmark.

Because of you, this spring Luis graduated high school—all while

working to earn his own money and

overcoming the voice inside that told him

graduation was out of his reach. Luis is

among the inaugural class of United Way’s

Destination Graduation, an innovative

strategy to improve graduation rates by:

• Identifying students who are

falling behind

• Providing the right intervention

at the right time

• Consistently monitoring

student progress

Thanks to you and Destination Graduation,

Luis is now preparing for college and

planning for a career.

THRIVINGTOGETHERUniting Communitiesfor Student Success

United Way is leading the effort to bring together

community resources to prepare 250,000 Valley

children for success in our community’s workforce.

Thriving Together is a collaborative, long-term,

data-driven movement—modeled after the

national initiative StriveTogether—focused on key

educational benchmarks from birth to career:

• School readiness

• Third-grade reading

• Transition into high school

• College readiness

• College degree or advanced career training

• Career readiness

“ I’m most excited about the work to be done with Thriving Together because it will give us objective feedback from an outside perspective. Our hope is to have a fresh look at how effectively our current programs are working and an opportunity to make the changes that will have the most powerful, positive impact on student achievement.”

— STEpHANIE AcOSTAPrincipal,

Ed and Verma Pastor Elementary School, Roosevelt School District

“ This initiative is about being willing

to come together, bringing all these

partners together, and then using the

data for improvement. I’m not kidding

when I say that I’m seeing Phoenix

emerge as a national leader because

of those actions.”

— JEff EDMONDSONManaging Director,

StriveTogether

“ Years ago, the ‘Three R’s’ of instruction were Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. But in this day and age, in addition to academic content, the Three R’s of education are Rigor, Relevance and Relationships. Rigor ensures that our curriculum is challenging. Relevance reminds us to prepare children for life beyond schooling. Relationships between teachers, students and parents are critical for success. Thriving Together focuses on the new ‘Three R’s’ in everything it does.”

YOU’vE DEMONSTrATED THErE’S A HUNgEr fOr cHANgE IN OUr cOMMUNITY.More than 80,000 households in the Valley are affected

by hunger. Together, caring businesses and individuals

are working to end hunger by creating and implementing

community action plans and supporting United Way

programs like WeekEnd Hunger Backpacks, Breakfast in the

Classroom and Summer Meals.

Together, We Broke a World Record to End Hunger

Thanks to thousands of volunteers and funding and donated

services from Gannett, Safeway, SRP, American Express,

Waste Management, The Arizona Republic, 12News and ASU

Student United Way, we broke the Guinness World Record

to End Hunger by packing 1,993 food bags in three minutes.

This broke the old record by nearly 100%!

United Way’s WeekEnd Hunger Backpack program provides

15,000 meals for students who may not have a reliable

source of food over the weekend.

A Generation Hunts for Solutions

Generation United’s 2nd Annual Scavenger Hunt drew 18

teams who competed in Downtown Phoenix and raised more

than $8,500 for the WeekEnd Hunger Backpack program.

Dear United Way,

Hi! I want to thank you

for the food bags. Every

Friday is fun because

United Way brings food for

us. That is so cool because

when we have nothing to

eat we can eat the food

as snack. In the food

bags there is lots of go

od

stuff like tuna fish and

mac and cheese... I really

appreciate you United Way.

Dear United Way. Hello.

I like to play basketball

because I get more exercise. We do stuff like

playing dodge ball and go

on the trampoline. My life

is normal. I am 10 years

old. I am thankful for the

food bag because if I didn’t

have food I could eat the

food bag. The thing I like

about the food bag is there

is fruit and veggies

Dear United Way, Thank you United Way for giving me the food bag so my family can eat some of the food. Sometime we don't have food and every Friday you give to us. I really like the food bag .

bEcAUSE Of YOU, WE ArE ENDINg HOMElESSNESS In 2014, Phoenix became the first city in the United States to end

chronic homelessness for our veteran population.

Permanent Supportive Housing offers key solutions

Together with our community partners, we moved closer to our

goal of ending homelessness for every individual and family in

our community, surpassing our goal of 1,000 units of Permanent

Supportive Housing. By moving the chronically homeless into

Permanent Supportive Housing, families have access to services

to help them avoid or move quickly out of homelessness.

You also supported homelessness prevention and intervention

with one million nights of emergency shelter.

UNITED TO END HOMElESSNESS

After 18 months on the streets, Chris turned to United Way’s Permanent Supportive Housing program for help. In addition to

getting a place to call home, she got the treatment she needed to

overcome some serious medical issues. Chris is rebuilding her life and

even volunteers to help others at United Way’s Project Connect events.

“Target’s partnership with

United Way has given our

the opportunity to take

part in building a better

This graphic is an historic view of the response to homelessness in the Valley. With 80% of all community resources going into emergency, transitional housing, and with 20% of the homeless population over-utilizing these resources, there was a backlog in this complex housing system. Now, by focusing on the highest-need group — chronically homeless individuals — we are increasing prevention and outreach at one end, and Permanent Supportive Housing at the other. This way, United Way and our community partners are reducing the amount of time that individuals and families experience homelessness.

on the path to financial independence.

VITA gifts yield maximum returns

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program

offers free tax help to individuals and families with low

senior citizens. Our trained volunteers

money that goes right back

our focus of helping our customers and

that by delivering financial education in

classrooms, community organizations and

develop good financial habits that will

prepare them for a successful future.”

UNITED fOr fINANcIAl STAbIlITY

For families struggling to make ends meet, one car repair, medical bill or other unexpected expense can be devastating. Mike and Sandra faced such

a challenge when they lost their jobs and

found themselves on the streets. “I felt

worthless,” Mike recalls. “I didn’t feel like I

was providing for my family in the way that

I was supposed to.”

You and United Way provided Mike and

Sandra with transitional housing, résumé

coaching, clothing for interviews, financial

education and other assistance. They’re

now working again and saving for a home.

“We didn’t have anything and now we have

a chance,” says Mike. “What can you say

for that? ‘Thank you’ is not enough.”

You gave Mike and sandra a second chance

the work of United Way by loaning the talents and abilities of the best employees from Valley

companies for four months per year. In addition, employees from both companies volunteered for

Virtual Tutoring, Project Connect and School Readiness Kit assemblies. Their combined partnership

made a huge impact on furthering United Way’s efforts to ensure each person has the opportunity

to achieve the aspirations we all share: a good education for our kids, a roof over our heads, food

on the table and the security that comes with financial stability.

When it comes to making a difference, there is no better example

than Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. The company provides

significant resources and volunteer time toward creating a stronger

Golfers United!

Bringing together 260 Valley golfers on behalf of United Way,

QuikTrip sponsored a golf tournament that raised more than

$83,000. The hugely successful event held at the Biltmore

Golf Course in Phoenix is an ideal example of how the

company and its employees continually create opportunities

to make a difference. QuikTrip’s generosity has resulted

in hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions

and a significant impact on our community.

“ AAA was built on the mission

of helping people. I’m proud our

employees embrace this by giving

their time, talent, and financial

assistance. I firmly believe we have an

obligation to the communities in which

we live and work, and ultimately we

all are the true benefactors of a more

caring and connected Arizona.”

“ Our associates have a passion for

giving where they live. Partnering

with United Way helps us take

meaningful action to end hunger

and homelessness, prepare the next

generation for success, and help

families attain financial stability.”

Pro Bowlers United!

This year USAA and NFL Pro Bowlers — including Cardinals

defensive end Calais Campbell and cornerbacks Patrick

Peterson, Justin Bethel and Antonio Cromartie—teamed up

with dozens of United Way volunteers to build a nine-station

fitness trail for the 8,000 soldiers in the Army and Air

National Guard in Arizona.
