Currently, United Way tallies show 15 percent of the goal has been met. This year, Pacesetters bested their companies' giving record by an average of 345 percent more than last year. Companies achieved their individual goals by increasing employee-giving participation up to 100 percent and increasing matching donations from their corporations.
