United Way nears 10% of goal
|
Bryan, Ohio - October 10, 2008 - The United Way of Williams County has surpassed the $35,000 mark and is currently nearing 10% of its $375,000 fund-raising goal, officials announced Friday.
"The United Way appeal is moving slowly," said Chris Malanga, Chief Executive Officer. "We have reached about 10% of our goal thanks to those who have responded to our direct mail campaign. But there still is a long way to go to reach our $375,000 goal."
Malanga noted that fund-raising efforts at many local companies are now underway, but no corporate results have been reported to the organization as of yet.
"We have many campaigns that are in progress, and some of our major campaigns that have not yet begun," stated Malanga. "We hope that these campaigns will happen soon, as we would love to wrap things up by Thanksgiving."
Dollars raised in the 2008 Campaign will benefit the 32 partner agencies of the United Way of Williams County.
