BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA – United Way Space Coast launched its 2025 campaign with a Friday night atmosphere as Viera High School cheerleaders, band, and football players set the tone, energizing the event with excitement and school spirit.

“Coach” Brevard Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Rendell took the field as campaign chair, announcing the 2025 campaign goal to raise $4.5 million.

The kickoff program featured many high-energy moments, including a themed photo booth, game-day-inspired fun, and stories of local impact.

A Pacesetters panel, including representatives from L3Harris, Space Florida, Publix, and Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, also shared some friendly challenges and best practices for running a significant campaign.

“I believe in the power of community, and this campaign is our chance to come together as a team for Brevard’s children and families,” Rendell said.

“The United Way supports 33 local partner agencies that directly impact the lives of children, families, and neighbors across Brevard. I’ve seen firsthand how these programs touch our schools and strengthen the fabric of our county.”

The 2025 campaign marks a new era for United Way Space Coast, reflecting its strengthened commitment to changing lives and building a brighter future for Brevard.

“As a board, we are inspired by the collective power of this community,” said Jackie Barker, board chair of United Way Space Coast.

“When people, businesses, and organizations come together, we create lasting change for children and families across Brevard. This campaign is about uniting around that shared purpose.”

Caron Partridge, UWSC president, agreed. “This campaign kickoff is more than an event. It’s the start of a season of teamwork and possibility,” she said. “I’m excited to see what we will accomplish together in the year ahead.”

Together, we’re ready for a winning season. United is the way we rally together to change lives and strengthen our community.
