Based in Connecticut, where he lives with his wife and children, David Preschlack is president of NBC Sports Regional Networks, where he oversees the performance of nine NBC Sports Regional Networks nationwide. Apart from his work life, David Preschlack is a longtime supporter of the United Way and serves as a member of the organization’s worldwide board of trustees.
A report earlier this year stated the United Way has impacted the lives of some 400,000 students in the past year, helping them achieve success in the classroom and beyond. More than three-quarters of students the organization served have advanced in their classroom development metrics, with nearly 70 percent of kindergarten students rated “proficient” in reading tests. Over the next decade, the United Way's goal is to make sure at least 95 percent of high school graduates are equipped with the tools they need to either enter college or embark on a career path.
The United Way provides support to children from the beginning of their lives with the Babies Born Healthy program, which helps new parents learn needed skills. Support for children continues leading up to the school years with Born Learning Academy, which helps parents turn everyday moments into learning moments for their children.
Additionally, the United Way’s public policy initiatives support efforts to help families with low incomes receive the assistance they need to ensure the healthy development of children.
