Live United Film Series: It All Adds Up

This spring, United Way Capital Area will introduce their Live United film series in Austin. This series, co-hosted by Austin PBS affiliate KLRU-TV, provides Central Texans an opportunity to explore critical community issues such as education and financial stability through film and dialogue.

It All Adds Up will be the first screening, will be held at the Austin City Limits Studio 6A in the CMB building on The University of Texas campus. This documentary, produced by Academy Award-winning director Sue Marx, profiles the teachers and students of Wayne State University's "Math Corps," a groundbreaking organization that partners struggling middle and high-school students from Detroit's public schools with collegians, who help teach vital math and life skills the kids need to succeed. More than 90 percent of Math Corps students graduate from high school, and more than 80 percent attend college.

Light hors d'oeuvres and beverages will also be provided, but you must RSVP here.
