Officials with United Way are plugging away at raising $1.725-million.
Helen Heath says they are starting to make the rounds of various businesses and workplaces – including almost two dozen local schools this Friday – to promote the campaign.
“We are going to 19 schools, every single St. Clair board school,” reveals Heath. “So we’ve got an army of volunteers and staff, that are going out to do these presentations and we’re going to be doing the LKDSB schools as well.”
Heath says they’re still tallying funds from last week’s Red Feather festivities, but all of the events were really well attended.
