Collectively, you should be proud of the substantial difference you are making in the lives of people who most need our help. Together, Tocqueville Society Members and Senator John Rich Harshman Heinz Leaders in Philanthropy contributed more than $10 million to United Way’s 2018 Campaign, providing hope and critical support to: • Young men like Zach (page 21), a student athlete who is learning how to respect himself and others while serving as a role model to his peers; • Seniors like Joe (page 27), who is able to avoid isolation and loneliness by getting a friendly ride to the local senior center; Linda Jones • Women like Shalisa (page 49), a veteran and college graduate, who found herself and her daughter on the brink of homelessness after unexpected tragedy; and • People with disabilities like Michael (page 4), who searched tirelessly to find a home of his own that met his needs so he could live with independence. On behalf of Zach, Joe, Shalisa, Michael, and the hundreds of thousands of other lives you’ve touched, thank you. You are true champions and together, when we fight to solve our region’s biggest challenges, we all win. With gratitude, Richard J.
