United Way "Let Me Play" Fund
United Way enables every child to join in the fun.
 The United Way of Williams County is investing in our future.
Recognizing that activities for kids, including sports, and recreation
programs help build self esteem and teach life skills like teamwork,
dedication, and work ethic the "Let Me Play"
fund was established in 2003 to provide player’s fees, uniform costs,
or even equipment to children who would like to participate in area
recreation programs, but do not have the means to pay the fees.
Community enrichment programs such as crafts, theater, or dance, may
also be covered. Private lessons are excluded.
