The 2019 United Way of Reno County campaign has officially kicked off. This is an effort to raise $1,350,000 for 25 different nonprofit agencies in the county.
Dr. Cory Jackson and his wife, Amanda, are the campaign chairs this year. Dr. Jackson talked about the decision to take on this role in an effort to raise the needed funds.
“We started giving to United Way when we moved back, starting at 15 years now, and we just see the need every day in our daily lives,” Dr. Jackson, who practices family medicine in Hutchinson, said. “We’ve used United Way services through Hospice House, the YMCA and Hutch Rec. Also, every day at work, I see the need in the places that United Way supports, after school programs and early education programs, so we just think it’s a great organization.” Jackson said he and his wife are excited to take on this role for United Way.
