United is the Way!
Even in a place where rivalries run deep, when families are struggling… we’re all on the same team.
“In football, rivalries run deep.
But in life — we’re all on the same team.”
We can cheer for green, cheer for blue, disagree on fourth-and-one, or debate every Saturday…
But when our neighbors need help?
We stand together.
“Because here, it’s not over.
It’ll never be over.
United is the Way.”
What It Means to Live United
When families face tough times — rising costs, hunger, housing instability — they need a team behind them.
United Way of the Lakeshore connects thousands of families with:
Food and emergency support
Early childhood and youth programs
Senior support services
Volunteer-driven community solutions
Pathways to stability for working families
This is what “playing for the same team” looks like.
Coach Dantonio’s signature line reminds us:
We keep showing up. We keep fighting for families.
And we do it together.
