A fundraising campaign has officially begun. The United Way is behind the effort, which started with a Tuesday morning event. Details about the campaign's goals are not specified, but a proclamation was read to mark its launch.

This proclamation was given by County Judge Scott Felton and Mayor Jim Holmes. They appeared together at the McLennan County Courthouse. Further information about the campaign can be found through the United Way or the original report.
