This year, we once again had the chance to produce the video for United Way's 2015 Campaign. Below you can find that video featuring scenes from all over Denton County.
United Way Denton County is a locally governed organization that has been helping our community since 1951. Their mission is to improve lives in Denton County and they do a darned good job of it. We've featured a couple of the ways they do this in the video below. This year's campaign is focused on mental health, an issue that has touched the lives of many and one that most everyone can get behind.
We were honored to partner in creating this year's video because we want to continue to see our community thrive by highlighting the work being done and at the same time expressing how much more remains to be accomplished. You, too, can give, advocate and volunteer to help make the Denton community a better place at unitedwaydenton.org.

Hit up Waterworks Park on Friday for "Sonic Day" where you can eat a hot dog and feel good about it (because a portion of the proceeds go to Eureka 2).
It’s hot. Stay indoors. Or do something cool outdoors. There's windy spots where it doesn't feel like 100 degrees outside, or so we've heard. If you find one of said spots, let us know. We're kinda melting. We've got you and yours covered this week with plenty of family-friendly events below. Check them all out in this week's Seen & Heard.
