David Faskas' United Way Fundraiser

It is an honor to participate in the AMIGOS Y AMIGAS fundraising contest to support such a worthwhile cause that helps our community to grow and flourish.  However, I NEED YOUR HELP for this fundraiser to be a success.  Please consider donating to help me reach my goal and win the contest!  Please SHARE this fundraiser to let others know how they can help and please consider giving in ANY AMOUNT, all donations are appreciated and make a difference!

The United Way AMIGOS Y AMIGAS fundraising contest is Victoria County United Way's largest fundraiser of the year. All of your donations STAY LOCAL!

The Victoria County United Way works with many partners to improve the lives of people living in the Crossroads area. In addition to helping boys and girls learn in a safe environment (Boys & Girls Club), provide temporary housing for those in need (Mid-Coast Family Services and Perpetual Help Home), help seniors obtain meals (Victoria Senior Citizens), they also have worked non-stop since August 25th when Hurricane Harvey hit our region to help people recover from the storm.

Victoria County United Way Mission:
To improve lives in the Crossroads area by mobilizing the caring power of communities we serve. We will build stronger, safer and healthier communities by inspiring people to make a difference and together improve people’s lives.
