United Way campaign races to finish line

Dr. Craig Hillemeier, chair of the 2018 Live United campaign, and the Nittany Lion show the grand prize of the United Way raffle, a 2019 Chevrolet Trax.

With just one day of the United Way campaign to go, generous employees have donated $347,305, which is 92 percent of the final goal of $375,000.

United Way programs address the root causes of the community’s most pressing issues, improving conditions for people who want a better life but don’t know how to make it happen. More than 98 percent of the funds United Way of the Capital Region raises go directly to local services, including access to health care, employment and education, plus meeting basic needs of individuals and families, including food, shelter and clothing.

How to Donate

• Penn State Health employees can still make a pledge or donation at inspired2give.org.
