Carol A. Peterson

Carol A. Peterson, a native Rhode Islander, is retired but this has not diminished her passionate commitment to helping people in need. Carol chose to go on giving by making a bequest to United Way of Rhode Island.

“I’ve been a strong supporter of United Way of Rhode Island all of my life, and this is a chance to take that part of me into the future.”

Charley and Sarah Denby

Charley and Sarah Denby believe in United Way of Rhode Island. Sarah volunteers and gives annually. Charley has included a bequest in his will, so he can go on giving in perpetuity. Together, they’re making Rhode Island a better place for all of us.

“We love the fact that United Way represents a range of philanthropies. They have an unerring instinct for the needs of Rhode Island, and a superlative track record.”
