See who won what—and how they're working to improve lives in North Texas.
Five finalists. One mission. United Way's Social Innovation Competition brings together innovative North Texas minds in social entrepreneurship for a chance to change the future. In a Shark Tank-style showdown, they'll pitch their solutions to improve education, income, and health in the community.
