This year’s Prairieland United Way campaign is running ahead of last year’s totals.
The drive last year raised over $515-thousand. The goal this year is $500-thousand.
Executive director Karen Walker says she is pleased with the work of the chairwomen this year.
Walker says the campaign is off to a great start, running just ahead of last year’s pace.
Walker says the Dine Out Wednesday fundraiser just finished, and she says it raised as much money as it did a year ago.
Walker says the employee groups later this month and next will give the campaign a big boost.
The next big fundraiser for United Way is United We Sip, November 24th at the Twisted Tree. Tickets are $50 a person, and two VIP tables for eight people each are available for $800 each.
Raffle tickets are also available at $50 each. Winners will get a selection of three different high priced bourbons.
