Boston University Lives United!

Boston University is a leader among our partners in the academic world, raising $175,000 in 2007 to support our work. As part of this year’s campaign, they moved their support up a notch by declaring Dec 6 Live United Day at the Agganis Arena. That day, a crowd of 1300 Terriers basketball fans heard about United Way’s work and enjoyed a performance by Dancers from Hyde Square Task Force, a United Way partner working to empower youth and families to enhance their own lives and build a strong and vibrant urban community. The crowd viewed our Community Support Fund PSA and United Way’s own Amanda Angel addressed the audience at half time.

BU also hosted over 120 youth served by United Way agencies with free tickets to the game and a reception where the audience had refreshments with the team and collected autographs.

Go Terriers!
