Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

The Bartlesville Regional United Way announced its 2015 campaign goal Tuesday.  Executive Director Jody Burch outlined the three areas of emphasis -- Education, Income, and Health. 

The United Way funds 32 local programs at 14 partner agencies, three initiatives, and ten venture grants.  Burch says by "Living United" you are building a better community. 

Before he announced the fund goal, Burch pulled out a "selfie stick" and took a picture of the crowd.  He asked those in attendance to take their own picture and tweet it and post to Facebook using the hashtag #BethefaceofchangeUW.  Burch then defined what he meant as the face of change.

This year's fund goal is $2,200,000.  That is a hike from last year's 2 million 75 dollar goal.
