NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (North Platte Post)- The Mid Plains United Way has two goals for February- raise $55,000 and shave some heads.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Mid Plains United Way progress thermometer took up residence on the corner of B and Dewey, right in front of Pro Printing. Currently, the local United Way chapter is at $195,000 of their $250,000 goal. Executive Director Ginny Martin and Administrative Assistant Sandra Kroon have volunteered to shave their heads if their goal is met.
However, with such a short time to achieve such a big goal, the board knew they would need more help. So, board member Karen Knisley challenged Mayor Marc Kashke to join Martin and Kroon to shave his head if the United Way succeeded. He quickly and enthusiastically agreed.
