Reginald
Mover. Team player. Teacher.
Reginald grew up in Bethlehem Centers of Nashville, a
United Way funded partner—from pre-K to after-school
programs to internships.
“If it weren’t for Bethlehem Centers, I probably wouldn’t
be half of the person that I am today.” At 18, he was
hired on as staff, working his way up to teacher’s
assistant before managing their summer program.
Now at BlueCross BlueShield, he’s at the helm of his
company’s United Way giving campaign each year.
“I started off working with United Way at Bethlehem
Centers when they brought on a program called
Sparks. It’s basically teaching kids physical education
and getting them moving around instead of sitting in
front of a television all day long. So just trying to get
them active and involved in after-school activities. That
was just something that really excited me and why I
love United Way so much. The slogan ‘Changing lives
and building futures’ has always stuck with me. I feel
I’m living proof.”
