United Front — Write-in agencies help personalize giving
Camille O’Neill is captivating, cheerful and visually curious. At age 3, she plunks letters on her Braille typewriter, laughs easily and pulls new toys close to study them intently — all the while singing, “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. …” Camille’s parents, Bill and Jen O’Neill, are grateful for the support they’ve received from a local, non-profit agency that helps children with visual impairments. Now, through the United Way campaign, they are able to say thanks by designating the Nebraska Foundation for Visually Impaired Children (NFVIC) as one of their United Way charities.

The historic parade, 100 years ago, was one of the largest in Omaha history. A century later, on Oct. 6, 2007, a parade along those same streets will mark the event’s centennial.
