United Way campaign still shy of goal

“We’re closer. We just have to reconnect with the people who save their donations to the last minute,” Panter said.

So far, about $102,000 has been raised since the campaign kicked off Oct. 16 with the Souper Star Lunch that saw faculty deans go bowl to bowl in a competition for the best soup.
