United Way goal for N.Ky.: $3.5M

WILDER — The United Way & Community Chest hopes to raise $300,000 more in Northern Kentucky this year than it did in 1998.
A goal of $3.5 million was announced Tuesday by Bradlee F. Stamper, president and chief executive of Fifth Third Bank of Northern Kentucky and the 1999 Northern Kentucky Unit ed Way campaign chairman.
The fund-raising campaign for area social service agencies will last eight weeks, with the majority of contributions coming through payroll deductions at area employers.
“United Way produces results; it changes lives,” Mr. Stamper told a gathering of about 200 business people, community leaders and volunteers who help raise money for United Way.
Diana Carroll, a 35-year-old Newport woman, needed reliable day care for her two nephews, Daulton, 4, and Shawn, 3. “I received custody of my nephews a year and a half ago, but I wasn't able to find an environment for them that made me comfortable,” said Ms. Carroll, a mother of two older children,
who works as a secretary for the Hi-Gear Co. in Newport.
Through the Brighton Center in Newport, the United Way's referral source for child care in Northern Kentucky, Ms. Carroll discovered St. Paul's Child Care.
“St. Paul's is wonderful for the boys,” she said. “I know they are in good care, so I don't have to worry about that. If I didn't have St. Paul's and the United Way, I wouldn't be able to work.”
The United Way provides funding for more than 20 social agencies in Northern Kentucky, including BAWAC, Catholic Social Services, Covington Community Center, Holly Hill Children's Home, Licking Valley Girl Scout Council, New Perceptions, Redwood Rehabilitation Center, Welcome House and the Women's Crisis Center.
