I belong to Women in Philanthropy (an affinity group), adminstered by the United Way of Santa Cruz County. The charitible work done by this group is so impressive. We have full staff support to help us guide the educational programs we fund. Every penny we raise goes directly to students and teachers. Our POWER project collects gently used educaional supplies, such as childrens books, and we raise our own money to puschase supplies. The United Way Staff are totally supportive and wonderful to work with. It makes my own life better just to know I am helping out and that every penny goes to the kids.
