Reality is about 60% of children who enter kindergarten are not ready to learn. This means many children don’t have the necessary social, emotional and physical skills to recite their ABCs, get along with others or hold a crayon. These basic skills help kids start school ready to succeed. Those who start behind generally stay behind.
Together, we can change reality.
On (date), we will be kicking off (company 's name) (year) United Way campaign. Last year, our community raised over $12 million to help make measurable improvements in the lives of people in Pierce County by working toward long-term solutions in the toughest issues and supporting short-term solutions provided through critical local programs. This year, we are going to follow that with even more success! This is a great opportunity to get involved and change reality for those in our community.
