some of the most technologically dependent children in the country.

achieving key community outcomes and investing in those strategies that

will help Broward County by addressing the root causes of important issues

affecting us all."

direct contributions and employee gifts. "At AT&T, our mission is to

connect people to their world where they live and work and do it better

than anyone else," said Vic Beninate, Area Director-External Affairs. "The

United Way of Broward County supports programs that directly affect our

community and our citizens' lives, connecting them with resources and

expertise to improve their situation. The United Way also supports

organizations with proven results, which means that the support we give

today has a greater impact in Broward County. We are pleased to support the

United Way of Broward County."
