The Portage Plains United Way fundraising campaign continues to pick up steam. 

Last week's numbers indicate the campaign has generated about 60 per cent of its total goal, and now sits at 113 thousand dollars.  In comparison to the same period of time last year, the drive is ahead about 12 thousand dollars. 

 

Corporate chair Jerry Lupkowski is optimistic of the end result and predicts they'll exceed their goal if momentum continues. 

 

He's pleased with the enthusiasm he's seen within the campaign and office, and is hoping to use that energy to generate support from Portage's new businesses.
