Tuesday, June 18th, 2013
With nearly $1.1 million collected from its 2012 campaign, the United Way of Southwest Georgia is gearing up for its next campaign cycle.
The agency hosted an annual meeting at its North Westover Boulevard office Monday afternoon, a program which included an awards presentation and an update on how the fundraising drives have been going.
The 2012 campaign total came out to be $1,097,041.29, just over the $1,081,078.24 collected the previous year. Despite the fact that this year's total was below United Way's $1.2 million goal, officials are optimistic about what the next few months will bring as the the time comes to kick off the 2013 campaign.
"This was a great year for us," said United Way CEO LaKisha Bryant Bruce. "We raised more than last year, and due to (internal) restructuring, we were able to put more money into the campaign.
