United Way halfway to $1.8 million goal

GAINESVILLE - Hall County United Way is more than half-way toward this year's $1.8 million goal.

Campaign Chairman Brian Daniel announced at the annual midway campaign breakfast Wednesday morning that $910,676 has been raised so far, and said that's right on target. He said 51 percent of the goal has been reached.

Daniel added more than 60 presentations have been made to employers around Hall County the past eight weeks but there is still a lot of work to be done.
