As many of you know, one of my favorite poems is "Come to the Edge." Recent graduates of Southeast Missouri State University have heard me recite these words at commencement. As poet Christopher Logue infers, we often learn the depths of our own potential when we take a leap of faith. That's why we're proud to host United Way's "Over the Edge" event in May to help highlight this organization's important work in Southeast Missouri. Here at Southeast, United Way funding benefits our University Student Emergency Fund, providing "just in time" grants for students with significant financial burdens that may prevent them from completing their education. For the first time this year, the United Way is supporting Leadership United for Southeast Academic Support Services students to learn leadership, philanthropy and community service skills. United Way funding also helps support Southeast's APPLE project and Educare Child Development Associate classes. In support of these initiatives and many others, I invite you not only to "Come to the Edge," but also to go "Over the Edge" with me on May 17 in support of the United Way! Let's soar! I hope to see you there!
I'm going to rappel down the Towers South dormitory at Southeast Missouri State University, in exchange for donations back to the amazing local non-profit organization, the United Way of Southeast Missouri!
EVENT DATE: Friday, May
17th, 2019
LOCATION:
Towers South at
Southeast Missouri State University -
1000 Towers Circle, Cape Girardeau, MO
About United Way of Southeast Missouri
United Way of Southeast Missouri fights for the health, education and financial stability of everyone in the communities we serve: Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Scott City, Perry County, and Bollinger County. Over the years our business model has evolved from being a Community Chest offering emergency help in times of need to creating lasting change through the collective impact of our network. We have moved from merely collecting and distributing funds to identifying and investing in solutions, collaborating with others to change lives for children, students, working families, and senior citizens throughout Southeast Missouri.
Our Mission: The United Way of Southeast Missouri serves as the leader in uniting people and resources to build a stronger and healthier community.
Our Vision: The United Way of Southeast Missouri envisions a safe, healthy, and proactively caring community in which every individual thrives during each stage of life: healthy babies, successful students, responsible adults, active seniors.
