United Way of Morrow County was proud to announce exceeding their goal of
$150,000. Rosemary Levings, Executive Director, was excited as she gathered
Board Members and Campaign Chair, Cheryl Herbert to the “Victory Rally” as
they marked the thermometer on the square in Mt. Gilead on Monday, December 1.

Levings contributes the success to the many Morrow County residents and businesses that take an interest in their community and realize the need to help the ten agencies United Way supports. Levings reported that with the economy and budget cuts, not only to agencies, but also to many employees of Morrow County, they still came through, and to them we are thankful.

The exciting part is, even though the campaign is over, we are still receiving and will receive pledges. There are still some of the divisions that are not quite complete. The campaign started out with 41% of their goal at the Kick-Off in September from the Pacesetters, part of the sales of the football raffle, and pledges that had come into the office. . According to Levings, several weeks ago, she went through the donors list and sent a second letter to donors they had not heard from and bless their hearts, they came through for us. We still had around $9,000 outstanding in those donations.

The pledges for United Way of Morrow County as of 12/1/03 are: $156,226.67.

THANK YOU MORROW COUNTY FOR “INVESTING IN YOUR COMMUNITY” BY GIVING TO UNITED WAY.

Total pledged:  $156.226.67
