United Way of Greater St. Louis 2014 campaign chair Scott Schnuck announced this year’s campaign fundraising goal is $72.5 million. The United Way’s campaign is underway and ends early November.
“Because of the generosity of our region, United Way is able to help one in three local people,” said Schnuck. “This year we’re committed to do more and we’re once again calling on our neighbors across the region to support United Way’s campaign, which makes a positive impact on the lives of so many people.”
United Way of Greater St. Louis invests more than $1 million each week in the community to help one in three people through more than 170 local agencies it funds.
“We are excited to begin this year’s campaign which will continue to help local people establish strong foundations in their lives that help them thrive and reach their full potential,” said Orvin Kimbrough, president and CEO of United Way of Greater St. Louis.
Last year, more than 150,000 people and 2,600 businesses donated to United Way, raising more than $72.25 million. Individuals may pledge a donation by calling 314-421-0700 or visiting www.stl.unitedway.org.
