I'm a huge fan of United Way of Lea County. They are the largest non-profit organization in this area of the state of New Mexico. Many people don't realize how poor our state is, however, Lea County prospers in the oil, gas and energy industries. On the other side of the coin is the amount of folks who believe in service and community. Two of my favorite events that this charitable federation hosts are: 1) Chili Fest - held annually at the Event Center towards the end of September 2) Paint the County Pink which is a breast cancer awareness event. I'm pretty passionate about this since my aunt, (former) mother-in-law, and cousin's wife have survived and/or are fighting this terrible disease. United Way is highly active on social media. Keep up with all of their missions, events, and good deeds at: https://www.facebook.com/unitedwayleacounty or their website: uwolc.org Love the people who work here and their board members. Thank you for doing greatness! read more
