$2,401,000 raised in 2011
Campaign Chairs Jim and Jean Gallimore announced the total raised for the 2011 campaign: $2,401,000. At the celebration held on Groundhog’s Day at the Bull in Sheboygan Falls, Jim Gallimore literally jumped for joy after announcing another record breaking campaign for Sheboygan County. He thanked the cabinet, campaign volunteers, donors and all in attendance for their continued commitment to our community. 2012 Campaign Co-Chairs Adam & Kris Payne and Todd & Linda Mueller were introduced and shared their enthusiasm for working with the volunteers and United Way staff to set and break another record in Sheboygan County.
