Early campaigns Step Up pace of fundraising

Thanks to companies with spring campaigns, fundraising for 2011 is off to a hot start!

Premera Blue Cross topped $500,000, up $61,000.

Philips raised over $211,000, up $67,000.

“This is fantastic,” said Campaign Chair Sue Ambler. “With a slow recovery and cutbacks in the state budget, our community is really relying on the generosity of donors. I am so thankful to all those who have “Stepped Up.”
