United Way of Racine County 2013 Annual Report | 3

Like all organizations, nonprofits must continually

evolve to meet the changing needs of the communities

they serve. The year 2013 was a one of change for

United Way of Racine County. While the organization

continues to transform and grow with new talent and

fresh thinking, we always remain true to our mission.

With the support of new and traditional partnerships,

we have forged a new direction that has begun to

show results.

Our work has become deeper and more issues-focused

in order to create opportunities for a better life for all

in Racine County. United Way has put a stake in the

ground around education, income and health. Why?

Because we know that the academic success of our

children and the financial stability and health of our

families are vitally important for the prosperity of our

entire community.

In 2013, we engaged more individuals to give,

advocate and volunteer in support of Racine County.

As you will see in this report, we held a successful

event that involved hundreds of caring volunteers,

engaged a number of young philanthropists and

reached our highest campaign to date of $5.4 million!

The road to long-lasting change and collective impact

is now led by new United Way president, Rodney

Prunty. After more than 20 years under president

Dave Maurer, the torch has been passed and Prunty

will ensure that United Way continues to demonstrate

collaboration, efficiency and effective use of resources

with measurable results.

We are proud of all that we have accomplished this

past year because of you. Thank you for your support

and confidence in us.

2013

United Way’s Day of Caring was held on September 7,

following the Annual Campaign Kickoff. More than 230

individuals volunteered their time at 20 different

nonprofits throughout the county. Volunteers

participated in a variety of projects – from installing a

Born Learning Trail at Echo Park in Burlington to painting

blacktop games at Roosevelt Elementary, which is also a

United Way Schools of Hope location. A special thank you

to our sponsors:

DAY OF CARING

The Born Learning Trails offer activity stations with fun,

interactive learning games that parents and caregivers

can play with young children. United Way partnered with

Leadership Racine to install trails at West Park and at

North Beach Park in Racine during the spring of 2013.

Another trail was installed at Echo Park in Burlington as

a 2013 Day of Caring project. A special thank you to our

Echo Park Trail sponsors:

BORN LEARNING TRAILS

United Way of Racine County works with businesses,

nonprofit organizations, philanthropies, civic groups,

and individuals from across the county. Throughout the

year, we bring these groups together to help make our

community a better place to live and work, and celebrate

all that we accomplish together.

Western Racine County ACTION Committee member Tom McLaughlin helps to install a Born Learning Trail at Echo Park in Burlington.


Highlights

United Way began Emerging Leaders for the next

generation of philanthropic professionals; those who

want to understand our community, its needs and how

to make a difference. Individuals (age 40 and under)

who make an annual gift to United Way of $500 or more

are invited participate. In 2013, Emerging Leaders

established a planning committee and hosted two

events; a volunteer day at the Racine County Food Bank,

a “Teach and Talk” featuring Tom Burke.

EMERGING LEADERS

In May 2013, United Way presented the Heritage Award

to Mike Batten and the Batten Family at the Salute to

Leadership event. The Heritage Award honors those who

have supported United Way and the community through

at least two generations. The award has been presented

only twice before —to the Johnson family and to Bill and

Mary Walker.

THE HERITAGE AWARD

On Valentine’s Day 2013, United Way hosted a

fundraising benefit at the Plaza Theater in Burlington,

featuring renowned magician David Seebach. The

magical evening included delectable hors d’oeuvres,

specialty desserts, raffles, and a Valentine-themed silent

auction. Special thanks to the Plaza Theater, Burlington

Flowers and Interiors and the Cotton Exchange for

bringing our theme to life. Thank you to our sponsors:

VALENTINE’S DAY MAGIC SHOW

Mike Batten accepts the Heritage Award which was custom created by local artist Bill Reid.

...to ensure that all Racine County residents achieve their

fullest potential by focusing on education, income and health—

the building blocks for a good quality of life. Since 1922, our

community has entrusted us to connect people and businesses with

opportunities to give, advocate and volunteer. Through community

investments directed to the needs of today as well as long-term

strategic goals, we are effectively and efficiently strengthening our

overall community by improving the lives of our neighbors.

is so little to give when you get so much more in

return! The smiles, the growing confidence, the

joy in knowing you’re helping these young readers

... I’m proud that this program exists in our

– Gina Siegert

Janes Elementary School tutor

Reading proficiency is the cornerstone of individual and community success. Simply put, when kids can read, they succeed.

United Way of Racine County is leading the way to

support education with the implementation of Schools of

Hope. In partnership with Racine Unified School District,

Schools of Hope provides young children with tutors on

a regular basis to increase reading achievement in the

early grades.

Since its pilot year, Schools of Hope has grown to

include eight local elementary schools, more than 200

volunteers and over 250 students. In just one hour

per week, Schools of Hope tutors are helping students

become more confident, capable readers who are better

positioned for academic success. To learn more about

becoming a tutor, visit unitedwayracine.org/soh.

Communities with a stable, skilled workforce are more economically competitive and have the potential to attract business and revitalize neighborhoods.

Launched in 2009, Advancing Family Assets (AFA)

empowers low-wage working families to better manage

their lives and reach a greater level of financial stability.

Guided by a family success coach, each family member

sets and fulfills goals to improve their education,

income and health. Notably, families learn to manage

household budgets, reduce debt, improve credit scores,

and grow assets.

Advancing Family Assets has assisted 418 Racine

County residents (156 adults and 262 children) since

the program began. Those helped include the new AFA

alumni group of 10 families who were inducted in June

2013. To reach alumni status, families participated

in AFA for nine months or longer and reached key AFA

success benchmarks including maintaining stable

employment, budgeting, engaging in healthy lifestyles,

and being active in the academic lives of their children.

AFA’s alumni families will continue on their paths to

success and serve as mentors for other participating

families. Additional families will enter the alumni group

each quarter, opening coaching slots for new families to

participate in the program.

To learn more about AFA, visit unitedwayracine.org/afa.

“Advancing Family Assets has been such a

blessing to my family. My coach has been more

than just a coach; she has become a great friend

and accountability partner to our family. She has

helped me build a solid foundation for my family.

Through AFA, I have received support in all areas

of life from finances, to guidance with behavior

issues with my son, to emotional support in

making some tough decisions. Now, I live in a

beautiful single family home, have started my own

business and am getting the support I need for my

children to be successful in school.”

– Melissa Grigg

Advancing Family Assets Alumni Member

MISSIONBy 2020, Advancing Family Assets will have

measurably increased the financial and family

stability of at least 500 families in Racine County,

achieving a variety of positive outcomes within

the families, leading to increases in the number of

reliable and productive workers, ultimately reducing

poverty in Racine County.

IMAGINE A COMMUNITY WHERE EVERYONE ACHIEVES AND MAINTAINS GOOD HEALTH THAT IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE.By engaging the community around health issues, United Way of Racine County and our partners are working to improve access to healthcare and support healthy lifestyles for youth and adults. Healthy lifestyles make a big impact on a community, leading to better achievement at school and work with reduced absenteeism and

increased productivity. Through improved individual awareness and information, United Way is helping individuals in our community improve their health. In 2013, United Way invested 31 percent of program dollars to help people achieve maximum physical, emotional, and mental health, and safety.

2013 HEALTH HIGHLIGHTS

70%of Advancing Family Assets families lived in safe, healthy home environments. Positive living conditions can be related to successful academic and social development for children.

89%of Advancing Family Assets young children were on-track for healthy development (Based on normed results of Ages and Stages Questionnaire screening of children from birth to age six.)

741Racine County residents were connected with health and safety related services such as prescription, mental health, and domestic violence assistance through the United Way-funded 2-1-1 Information and Referral Helpline.

1,717local individuals received counseling and mental health services to help them manage emotions and function better in their daily lives.

4,006individuals with no health insurance and of limited income received free or low-cost medical, dental and prescription health care.

$200,000 was saved on prescription costs in Racine County by using the FamilyWize card.


Saving people money on necessary prescriptions is vital

to the health and well-being of our families and our

community. The United Way - FamilyWize Community

Service Partnership addresses this critical need by

providing free prescription discount cards.

The FamilyWize card provides immediate savings on

prescription medicines with no paperwork or forms to fill

out. Simply present the card at a local pharmacy to get

the savings. As of November 2013, one thousand United

Ways in all 50 states have helped to save $580 million

on prescriptions in their communities. Since 2008, more

than 6,000 Racine County residents have saved over

$500,000. On average, people in our community save

nearly $20 per prescription by using the card.

Pick up a FamilyWize card at the United Way office,

download a card at unitedwayracine.org/familywize, or

text “family” to 700700 to receive a card on your cell

phone. (Message and data rates may apply. FamilyWize Terms

and Privacy at familywize.org/sms-terms.)

“When I heard about the FamilyWize card at an

Investment Committee meeting, I thought because

I had insurance that I wouldn’t need it. Then our

prescription plan at work changed and one of my

regular prescriptions was no longer covered. I

remembered the card and thought I would give it

a try. I ended up saving $68! Now, I tell everyone

about the card. I carry extra cards with me to pass

out. You never know who might need it.”
