United Way sets $3 million goal for fund drive

CHAMPAIGN – With a push to enlist new business support, the United Way of Champaign County has again set a $3 million goal for its annual fund drive.

The agency fell just short of the $3 million target last year, collecting just over $2.9 million. But the United Way's new president and chief executive officer, Lyn Jones, said Champaign County has the capacity to reach that goal.
