United Way of St. Charles announced at their Victory Celebration on Thursday, Feb. 25, they have reached 98.7 percent of their campaign goal of $2.2 million dollars.
“To date, United Way of St. Charles has raised a total of $2,170,519. United Way expects to reach and exceed the goal of $2.2 million because funds are still coming in from last minute campaigns and designations from nationally held campaigns,” stated Travis Chiasson, UWSC Campaign Co-Chairman.

“United Way would like to thank all the local industry, businesses and individuals for their hard work in making this campaign a success and recognizing that it is through your hard work and dedication that St. Charles Parish is such a great place to live, work and raise a family. You all should be very proud,” Andy Holm, UWSC Campaign Chairman, said as he addressed the audience of company leaders and campaign coordinators.
