2007-2008 Campaign Kicks off with PaceSetter Results

PaceSetters, as their name implies, set the pace for our annual campaign.  These are organizations that agree to conduct a quality campaign early and to strive towards a 10% increase in giving and/or participation.  It's also our intention to ensure combined Pacesetter and Advance campaigns represent at least 20% of the overall goal when we kick off. Their total contributions along with those of some of our partial advance campaigns total in excess of $3,000,000 representing 26% of our 2007 United Way Campaign thanks to all our PaceSetters.
