Each year United Way of the Kearney Area conducts its Annual Campaign. Our goal for our 2011 Campaign is ambitious - to raise $500,000 in just a few short months--but we can achieve it and in doing so, we create the kind of community in which we all want to live. Every donation, large or small, takes us one step closer to that goal - and to a United Way that is ready and able to meet the needs of its citizens.
