Executive Director’s Report
community be connected to needed resources and information.
With the theme, A BETTER LIFE for ALL, A BETTER LIFE for YOU, we began our march into 2014 towards our ultimate goal of improving lives in our community. Our community and our board had adopted a huge goal for 2014 that we had fixed our gaze upon and been steadily approaching for the past four years. I stand humbled and amazed at our community to be able to say, “We did it!” Congratulations to all of the donors of the Greater Kingsport area who took to heart the message of “Give. Advocate. Volunteer.” and enabled us to reach the pinnacle peak of $4 million! Why is this number important? The amount is important because of the number of lives those dollars enable us to reach in our community. The lives of persons like Madison, a child who made straight A’s after participating in a United WE READ program; like Will, a veteran serving 2
in Iraq and Afghanistan who was able to reconnect in a positive manner with society after participating in a Small Miracles Therapeutic program with horses; like Courtney, a young adult who learned through the tough love and encouragement of Frontier Health’s Link House program that as a young teen her past mistakes did not have to define who she would become; and lastly like Linda, a senior adult isolated because of hearing loss who was able to participate in society again and go to the grocery store because of a new hearing aid.
This year, our entire community has truly lived up to UWGK’s 2014 campaign theme – “A BETTER LIFE for ALL, A BETTER LIFE for YOU.” John Perdue President, 2014 Board of Directors
Our board, staff, and volunteers serve positively and tirelessly through many large and small ways to accomplish our mission to improve lives. With all of them, I am happy to report through the details incorporated in this 2014 Annual Report a message of “Congratulations, Greater Kingsport, you have indeed created A Better Life for All! Thank you!” Danelle Glasscock UWGK Executive Director
Our success this year has been because of a great number of people, truly working together for the benefit of all. People who looked across our community and saw needs, such as improving our third graders’ reading scores, helping those needing life skills to earn living wages, developing solutions to the chronic, unmet need of adult dental care as well as assisting seniors in our United Way of Greater Kingsport

United Way of Greater Kingsport Early assessments placed Madison on the low end of the spectrum for reading readiness. Each day was a challenge for her academically, socially, and emotionally until she participated in the UWGK’s United WE READ program.
Will found it extremely difficult to acclimate back into civilian life upon returning from serving in the Middle East, where he defended our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Acclimating became easier when he participated in Small Miracles Equine Services for Heroes Program funded by the UWGK.
“It gives me a challenge by helping me read better and faster. Since the beginning of the year, I hadn’t made straight A’s, but at the end I had made straight A’s. Thank you United Way of Greater Kingsport.”
“When I first came here I didn’t know what to expect...I had never heard of horse therapy. It ended up being an awesome experience. It was a serene, non-threatening environment, which was much different than my traumatic experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am now more confident and able to interact with people again. Thank you United Way of Greater Kingsport.”

Creates Long-term, Lasting Change Courtney came to Link House at the age of 15, struggling under the weight of the consequences of unhealthy behaviors. Link House, funded by the UWGK, helped Courtney turn her life around and position herself to help others experiencing the same struggles she once faced. “I had an 8th grade education when I came to Link House and didn’t see myself going much further. Link House taught me the importance of education and that my past mistakes didn’t define who I was going to be. At the age of 19, I got my GED and enrolled at ETSU. I am now a junior at ETSU pursuing my bachelor’s degree in psychology and working as a staff member at Link House to help others who are struggling. Thank you United Way of Greater Kingsport.”
–Courtney Past resident of Link House, college student, and current staff member of Link House

Linda lost her hearing in her 30s, leaving her unable to navigate safely through her daily routine and unable to hear the voices of family members, friends, and others in our community. Mountain Region Speech and Hearing’s Hearing Aid Program, funded by the United Way, helped Linda regain her hearing and experience again the joys of living. “It’s been a long, hard journey. I can’t begin to express how this hearing aid has helped me. It has opened up doors for me. I don’t care to get out and be in public again. The United Way and Mountain Region Speech and Hearing gave me hope. Thank you United Way of Greater Kingsport.”

2014 Campaign Awards Award of Excellence
In 2010, United Way of Greater Kingsport established a visionary program to increase our year-overyear total pledges in order to create and sustain lasting change in our community. This program, called “4in-4” culminated this year with a goal of $4 million. This was a strategically bold goal, and not one to be taken lightly. The combined efforts of United Way staff, volunteers, and donors were needed to achieve this goal, and success was not guaranteed. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we exceeded this goal in 2014! The final results from our 2014 campaign have been reported. We met and exceeded our overall campaign goal, raising $3.96 million in cash and pledges and securing $240,848 in gift
in-kind media services—a total of over $4.2 million. This is a tremendous achievement for a community of our size – indeed a tremendous achievement for a community of any size – and everyone should be proud of this result! The money raised will improve the lives of many throughout our community through the work of our member agencies and programs such as United WE READ, Life BRIDGE, SeniorConnectKpt.org, and the upcoming Mobile Dental Unit. All of this was made possible because of your generosity. Thank you! It has been an honor and privilege to serve as the Campaign Chair for this effort. Together, we have made the vision of A BETTER LIFE for ALL, A BETTER LIFE for YOU, a reality. Through our combined caring power we have demonstrated that we can work together to improve the lives of others, right here in the communities in which we work and live. GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER. That’s what it means to Live United. Candace Sass 2014 United Way of Greater Kingsport Campaign Chair
