In 2025, the Concho Valley stands at the threshold of history, celebrating 100 years of resilience, community, and connection. As the centennial unfolds, a bold vision is taking root-one that redefines what it means to give, to support, and to believe in something bigger than ourselves. This is United Way: a movement of 1,000 people, each committing to donate $100, not to a corporation or committee, but to community-driven change.

The centennial isn't just a celebration of what was-it's a call to shape what comes next. Simple math, yes. But powerful when seen through a different lens. That's $100,000 raised-not from major donors or corporations, but from everyday folks. Teachers, small business owners, students, retirees. People who might not always think of themselves as "philanthropists," but who believe in the shared promise of the next 100 years.

It's not just a fundraiser. It's a statement: that real power lies not in a few giving a lot, but in many giving what they can.
