Join Our Team, Change Our Community

Together with United Way of the Midlands, Gamecock punter and Academic Honor Roll member Mason Love is helping ensure children in our community fall in love with reading, learning, and discovery. Because when children embrace reading and learning, they expand their knowledge, empower themselves, and drive our communities forward.

Local Funding, Lasting Change

Local organizations are often in the best position to make a positive impact on a community. Last year, United Way of the Midlands distributed over half a million dollars in grants to local organizations that are fighting to advance educational opportunities for all our children. 

Part Name, Part Movement

When Mason Love takes the field, his jersey says it all — LOVE. It’s a reminder that every act of love — reading with a child, mentoring a student, giving time or resources — creates lasting change in our community. Along those lines, United Way of the Midlands and Mason Love are supporting two powerful education programs:

  • Midlands Reading Consortium: Connecting volunteers with local elementary students to build a lifelong love of reading.
  • STEM Education Initiatives: Inspiring curiosity and hands-on learning that spark the next generation of innovators.
