United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties' Women United

Our current focus is on early grade reading and combating the summer slide. In the summer months, children with limited or no access to books and activities fall behind. Each year a child is without these resources, the learning gap widens. If the learning gap remains by the start of fourth grade, they will never catch up with their peers. Funds raised by this event will advance our work in education and help children read to learn, instead of learning to read, by the start of fourth grade.Women United is seeking women who are willing to work to keep Monmouth and Ocean counties some of the best places in the country to live.
