It may be the dog days of summer, but the annual United Way campaign goals have been set and the 28 Pacesetters will launch their campaign soon.

At the annual Pacesetters breakfast on Wednesday, campaign co-chairs Ann Littlefield and John Kehoe discussed the rich history of the United Way in Jefferson City.

This year, the goal has been set at $1.63 million, which will spread across the 25 member agencies.
