United Way Chief Toils to Resuscitate Charity (washingtonpost.com): "Football players collided on the lighted field, cheerleaders high-kicked and the crowd roared as the Langley High School Saxons ran roughshod over the South Lakes Seahawks. In the stands, Charles Anderson -- watching with his wife and youngest daughter, while their three older girls played in the Langley band -- surveyed the crowd, hoping to find someone with a radio tuned to the Yankees-Red Sox game.
Anderson -- suburban dad, Yankees devotee, football fan -- knows about American icons and traditions. After taking over 17 months ago as chief executive of the United Way of the National Capital Area, which had been sacked by scandal, he has learned a lot about trying to revive a once-proud tradition. At 51, he has spent a quarter-century working for United Ways nationwide and wants to finish his career by restoring the local United Way to its former status as one of the largest in the country"
