The United Way Fox Cities is launching its annual fundraising campaign, and for the first time the goal is $9 million.
Executive Director Peter Kelly says they thought long and hard about that amount. He says they’ve been very fortunate to have successful campaigns in the past, because of the generous people and businesses in the area.
Last year, the nonprofit agency brought in more than $8.7 million in donations.
The money raised goes to help more than 100 different programs and initiatives in the community.
The United Way held a kickoff celebration at Miron Construction this afternoon.
