The goal of the 2014 United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley’s financial campaign is $2.6 million, up from the $2.5 million goal achieved in recent years.

Robert Hannon, United Way president, announced the goal at the agency’s 17th annual Day of Caring today, which was also the kickoff of the campaign.

Hannon said $711,000 of the goal has already been raised by the Pacesetter Campaign, which began in July.

Day of Caring speakers included Ed and Chris Muransky, 2014 campaign co-chairmen, and Jim Tressel, Youngstown State University president.
