Last year we raised nearly $475,000, exceeding our goal of $460,000. We\u2019ve set an ambitious goal this year to raise $500,000 by December 13. Your support makes a real difference as 99 cents of every dollar donated stays in Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve worked with United Way for more than 75 years to support our fellow Missourians.
