The Scurry County United Way campaign has reached 40 percent of its $165,000 goal.
Executive Director Sheila Hale said $66,633 has been pledged or donated to the campaign. She worked the past few days preparing for next month’s business blitz.
Campaign teams will fan out across Snyder and Scurry County seeking donations and pledges from businesses, with the team securing the highest dollar amount being declared the winner.
Western Texas College officials are doing their part to help the United Way campaign. The annual Fall Festival will be held from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 22 at The Coliseum.
Pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students may play games for candy or other treats at booths manned by the WTC faculty and students. The cost is $12 for one child, $20 for two children and $35 for four children.
Each child will have their hand stamped and only cash will be accepted.
This year’s campaign will end on Dec. 31.
The campaign will provide financial support to Snyder Day Care Center, Gateway Family Services, West Texas Children’s Advocacy Center, Buffalo Trail Boy Scouts, Texas-Oklahoma Plains Girl Scouts, Cancer Services Network, Scurry County Food Cupboard, the Snyder Volunteer Fire Department, Scurry County Museum, Scurry County 4-H and Snyder Christian School.
