A Smashing Kick Off
A Smashing Kick Off
In 1975 the United Way kicked off their campaign with a BIG bang. After they announced their target of $186,670 they fired a cannon to signify the start of the campaign. The effects of the blast shattered several store front windows and perhaps foreshadowed the success of the campaign as it fell short of the target by raising $171,768. Phil Utting was Chair of the Campaign that year.
