Last year we raised more than $436,000, and I know we can reach <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/give.uwheartmo.org\/p\/university-of-missouri-united-way-campaign\" target=\"_blank\">this year\u2019s ambitious goal of $460,000<\/a>. Your support will be put to good use because 99 cents of every dollar donated stays in Missouri.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mizzou and United Way share a mission of service and dedication to our community. It\u2019s what makes our partnership so strong and their work so important. I hope you\u2019ll join me in supporting this year\u2019s campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I was part of the kick-off event for our annual United Way campaign.
