Cole County’s United Way golf fundraiser reports higher turnout; totals pending
Summary
Organizers said the county’s United Way golf fundraiser saw increased participation and sponsorship this year; final totals will be provided later.
Cole County commissioners on July 15 heard a brief recap of the county’s United Way fundraising golf event. Commissioners said turnout and sponsorship increased compared with the prior year; final fundraising totals were not available at the meeting and will be calculated and reported later.
One commissioner said the event surpassed last year’s totals by a "fair amount" but did not provide a dollar figure. Organizers said they will continue standard pledge and campaign activities, including distributing pledge cards and conducting follow-up fundraising work.
Why it matters: The United Way campaign supports local nonprofits and county participation in fundraising helps community programs. The golf event serves as a fundraising and public-engagement activity that boosts the broader campaign.
What’s next: Final totals will be posted when reconciled, and planning for next year’s event will begin.
