What Would You Give
to Make the World a
Better Place?

It's simple to do and begins by answering our call
during Federation's Super Sunday phone-a-thon on
Sunday, January 21, 2007. Think of Super Sunday as
our community safety net. On that day we connect,
person-to-person, to raise life-supporting funds for
19 local agencies that serve the most urgent needs of
families at risk in our community. Every dollar counts.
Every gift has the power to answer a prayer, open a
door, do a world of good. So please do what you can.
