CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — Volunteers have raised more than $175,000 for Chadron State College as part of an annual fundraiser.

Organizers say more than 120 volunteers participated in the three-week fall campaign. The effort included campus and community teams around Chadron.

Leslie Bargen, development officer for the Chadron State College Foundation, says the campaign total will increase as more pledges and payments are received.

The money will help pay for scholarships at the college and other support for the college.

The nonprofit Chadron State Foundation was formed in 1963.
