One of the most meaningful moments of our Centennial Celebration was honoring our dear friends Rich and Mary Templeton with @UnitedWayDallas' highest honor for volunteer service, the J. Erik Jonsson Award. As longtime investors in our mission to create access and opportunity for all North Texans to thrive, Rich and Mary have been instrumental in the success of our strategic work to foster generational change in our community, and we are forever grateful for their generosity. We thank @TXInstruments and its current and former executives, including president and CEO Haviv Ilan and retired chief financial officer Kevin March, for also honoring Rich and Mary’s legacy of service with a $25 million gift to UWMD. This historic investment will pave the way for a bright future as we enter our next century of impact. Learn more: unitedwaydallas.org/updates/…

Last week, more than 175 of our neighbors drove away with a laptop, turkey and a trunk full of food staples at Techsgiving—@UnitedWayDallas' new annual Digital Bridges initiative to improve access to technology while creating food-secure households during the holiday season. Thank you to our volunteers and partners, @ATT, @ComericaBank, @compudopt, Dallas Fort-Worth Urban League of Young Professionals, @ntfb and @UNTDallas, for making this year’s community distribution a success. Together, we’re making North Texas the best place to live, work and raise a family—for all. To learn more about our Digital Bridges program and see the impact, visit unitedwaydallas.org/programs….
