HOW DR. PAN LIVES UNITED
"Living in Communist China as a child we often had only one meal a day. I knew what it meant to go to bed hungry. I give to United Way because I know that my dollars stay right here in my community of Mesa, helping those in need."

HOW BETH LIVES UNITED
"Even though I feel the same anxiety that everyone feels during these uncertain economic times, continuing my gift to Mesa United Way is the best way that I know to ensure the most important services in our community continue. Many agencies in our community are facing a downturn in available funds. But because United Way volunteers will be looking at their budgets and learning of their needs in detail, I know that my gift will go where it's most needed. Giving to Mesa United Way is just one way I LIVE UNITED."
"My name is Beth Coons, community volunteer, and I LIVE UNITED."
HOW TOM LIVES UNITED
"As a university professor I LIVE UNITED by helping students earn their college degrees so that they can be successful in their careers and family lives. I work to help them understand the importanceof giving back to those who are less fortunate. Having served on Mesa United Way's Community Allocation Committee, I learned first hand the importance of awareness and empathy to better serve as your Mesa United Way Board Chair."
