DePuy Nearing Pacesetter GoalDePuy's United Way pacesetter goal is $215,000.
And they're doing any and everything to reach that goal.

DePuy began raising money last week and continues through Friday.There also has been a book fair, golf challenge, cornhole tournament and bingo.
At least 700 DePuy employees have participated.
Johanna Hayes, of the Women's Leadership Initative at DePuy, said that any employee who donates at least $25 dollars will have their donation matched by the company.
Hayes said the women's group looks for ways to be proactive in the community.
Hayes said there is also a raffle for all employees who have donated as well as a silent auction, 50/50 and chances for employees to pay to wear jeans or shorts.
Some of the raffle prizes include a John Deere tractor and Gator ATVs for kids.
Sports and concert tickets also are being auctioned off.
Monica Wilson of the United Way said DePuy has been proactive in its fundraising.
Orthopediatrics, Medtronic and Biomet will also have be holding Pacesetter events as well.
Stories on them, as they take place, will appear in the Times-Union.
Anytime Fitness is donating $25 of new membership fees to the United Way.
