Congratulations UNMC, you did it again!
As of 3:33 p.m. on Friday, you raised $148,304 and had 41 percent participation in the 2011 UNMC United Way Fund Drive.
UNMC’s goal for the drive was to raise $145,000.
The participation total also was eight percentage points higher than the 33 percent average from the drives of the past several years.
