COSHOCTON – United Way of Coshoc-
ton County’s 2019 fundraising cam-
paign rolled into 2020 on a positive
note, with the organization being
more than 90% to goal.
“We’ve collected $300,000 in pledg-
es and have a lot of people giving
what they can,” said Lyn Mizer, Unit-
ed Way director. “People have been
so kind.”
The campaign goal this year is
again $325,000 and the corporate
sponsor is Drennen Dealerships.
“They are a tremendous commu-
nity supporter of Coshocton and we
appreciate their partnership with us,”
Mizer said.
Many people have chosen to donate
to the campaign by doing pay roll de-
duction and several fundraising divi-
sions really stepped up their support
this year with collecting donations.
“The public employee division hit
100% about a month ago,” Mizer said.
“They had a tremendous fundraiser
(which was an adult tricycle race for
county elected officials) McWane is
quite a bit higher this year, Kraft is
doing well with donations funded
