- December 20, 2008
It was good news for United Way funding following the East Baton Rouge Parish School System’s 2008 campaign. Teachers, administrators, staff and students raised almost $60,000 despite a delay due to Hurricane Gustav and the current economic conditions.
At last night’s School Board meeting, the three top fund-raising sites in the School System were recognized by Edith Wright (left) of Capital Area United Way.
Of the total $59,937.30 raised by School System sites, the top campaigns were:
