Graham Area United Way has reached 80 percent of its goal for the 2009 fund-raising campaign. At the second organizational meeting Tuesday, GAUW had collected $89,224.25 of the total goal of $112,009.
The commercial and industrial accounts have raised 69 percent of a goal of $55,309 with Sherry Reddell, pacesetters committee, and Eleanor Siskar, employee committee, leading the charge with 84 and 76 percent collected respectively.
In the public and professional accounts, 90 percent has been collected of the $56,700 goal. Nancy Thomas leading the government committee has raised 116 percent for a total of $2,310.02. Susie Cerecedez has raised 204 percent from national firms for a total of $2,247.60.
Eddie Neal has reached 93 percent of the advanced gifts committee goal with $33,543.27 collected.
At the meeting, workers were encouraged to work accounts that gave last year but have not given this year.
The final report meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10, allowing workers two weeks to wrap up the campaign. If the goal is not met, the organization may choose to continue its efforts.
