United Way Campaign Finishes on a High Note



A last minute anonymous donation of over $5,000 pushed the United Way of Tuscarawas County past its $565,000 fundraising goal. 
 
2012-13 Campaign Chair Bob Smith announced the campaign exceeded the yearly goal by $964 at the organization’s annual meeting and awards luncheon Thursday. 
 
Smith credits the United Way’s numerous volunteers and a community that never fails to step up and give for making this year’s campaign a huge success. 
 
 
Proceeds from the United Way campaign will provide funding to a number of area health & human service programs focusing on strengthening families & children, promoting health & wellness, and reducing emergency needs. 
 
Smith says being chairman of the campaign was a phenomenal experience.
 
 
During Thursday’s annual meeting, the United Way also honored many local businesses and volunteers including the presentation of the Vic Marsh Annual Service Award to Cheryl Stevenson of Dover.
