“THANK YOU FOR BEING A LIGHT! We are thrilled to announce we have reached Greater Mankato Area United Way’s 2025 campaign goal of $2,350,000 to support 65 programs and initiatives in Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Nicollet and Waseca counties! This is the 10th straight year we have reached our campaign goal. We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and generosity of individual and corporate givers, partner agencies, sponsors, matching gifts, in-kind donors, the United Way board of directors, volunteers, and all community supporters. Special thank you to our 2025 Campaign Chair Maria Brown of Exclusively Diamonds for her leadership and commitment to improving the lives of all ages in our region. Maria, thank you for being a light! This goal amount was a benchmark to meet the essential funding for our programs and initiatives, all of which were vetted by teams of community volunteers. The campaign will continue for the next few months as many community needs remain. Funds above the campaign goal will continue to go toward improving the lives of those in need.
