United Way - Day of Action
Tens of thousands of individuals across the
country participated in the fourth annual United
Way Day of Action on June 21, 2011. United Ways
in all 50 states and Puerto Rico mobilized and
inspired volunteers of all ages to channel their
passion and advance the common good.
Advancing the common good involves creating
opportunities for a better life for all. When
individuals, organizations, governments and
businesses set aside their special interests and
work together, we can make a difference. Day
of Action provides United Way with the
opportunity to rally our communities to help build
on strategies to improve education, income and
health. For United Way and the communities we
serve, the longest day of the year is dedicated to
tapping the considerable power of volunteers to
make positive changes across the country. With
more hours of daylight, there is more opportunity
to make a connection in a community, change a
life and contribute to making our country a better
place for all.
Who are these volunteers who come out on the
longest day of the year?
- Students.
- Retirees.
- Children.
- Working people, whose employersencouraged them to be part of Day of Action & to volunteer on other days as well.
June 21 is our Day of Action. It is the day we stand
up for ourselves, our friends, our community, and
our country to pledge to change the course of
our future.
