Waukesha County United Way running short of campaign goal
Despite bigger donations from some local businesses this year, fund raising for United Way in Waukesha County is flagging at 60% of its 2013 goal.
The organization, which supports nonprofit agencies that provide health and social services, said in a news release that it may not achieve its campaign goal of $4.75 million, having raised $2,812,431 so far.
"We have seen tremendous corporate and individual donor support this year, but unfortunately we are also seeing some losses that cause concern for our final outcome," Executive Director Jayne Thoma said in the release.
"Despite the fact that we are halfway through the campaign season, we still have a long way to go. There are families and individuals in our county relying on vital community services," Rob Reilly, a chair of the United Way campaign.
The annual campaign runs through Jan. 31, 2014. To make a contribution or to coordinate a workplace giving campaign, call (262) 547-8459 or visit www.UnitedWayWaukesha.org/give.
