The leaders and assistants of the annual campaign would like to thank all the area coordinators and volunteers who made the fundraising events successful and all those who donated door prizes and raffle items to raise money for the United Way.  The funds raised through the campaign will help those less fortunate and in need of the valuable services that United Way offers.
