Big boosts from ProEnergy Services and other Sedalia-based companies have helped make for a successful United Way campaign.
Elle Wasson, executive director of the Sedalia-Pettis County United Way, said the group has met its 2010 goal of $460,000, but would not have an exact total until the end of the year. The annual campaign funds 24 local charitable organizations.
