Your support makes a difference

Supporting the leaders of tomorrow

Football is a time-honored American sport that encourages the development of skills such as teamwork, discipline, and work ethic. Using funds provided through United Way of the Coastal Bend, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend was recently able to host a free one-day skill-building football camp for high school students from around the Coastal Bend. The camp was well attended, with students learning a variety of techniques under the guidance of former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dat Nguyen.

By supporting United Way of the Coastal Bend , you can help continue to bring unique opportunities like these to area youth as they grow to become the leaders of tomorrow.

United Way of the Coastal Bend has once again partnered with H-E-B and KRIS Communications for Operation Supply Our Students (Operation SOS), an annual community-wide school supply donation drive.
