Sedalia-Pettis County United Way announced this week that it has surpassed its 2011 goal of $576,170, and with a number of commercial campaigns pending, could approach three-quarters of a million dollars by the campaign’s end.
“We are looking for another record year. We are truly grateful because our 26 agencies will receive adjusted allocations to reflect that increase,” Elle Wasson Duggan, Sedalia-Pettis County United Way executive director, said Tuesday.
