CHENANGO COUNTY – With non-profit organizations hurting due to the coronavirus, Chenango United Way is seeking the community’s support in reaching its fundraising goal before the holidays.

According to Chenango United Way Executive Director Elizabeth Monaco, this year’s fundraising goal is set at $425,000 and is being led by John and Marcia Watt.

Monaco said to date, approximately 38 percent of the total goal has been raised, and of that, $117,321 has come from the industry division of the campaign.

“The Chenango United Way’s largest contributor, NBT Bank, has concluded its employee campaign, raising more than $116,000 in employee donations this year and exceeding its internal goal,” said Monaco. “Many more campaigns are still in process and are expected to conclude over the next several weeks.”
