CLEVELAND, Tenn. — The United Way of Bradley County exceeded its 2009 campaign goal, volunteers and funded agencies learned Tuesday.
The campaign raised $2,264,834, or 101 percent of the goal.
At the annual meeting and awards banquet at Life Care Centers of America headquarters, businesswoman Nancy Casson was honored with the William F. Johnson Sr. Community Service Award, the top volunteer award.
United Way Board Chairman Stephen Crass said exceeding the goal was a special achievement “due to the economic conditions our country has faced and our community has faced.”
Life Care Centers of America received special recognition because its employees and affiliates pledged more than $500,000, a county record for a pledge by a single company.
