Each year, the United Way of Southeast Georgia conducts a capital campaign that provides funds to 19 local agencies. In fact, since 2001, the agency has raised more than $5 million to help dozens of non-profit agencies offer needed services to Bulloch County residents. The 2015 campaign, however, will offer a little different twist to the regular fundraising efforts of board members and volunteers from the United Way of Southeast Georgia — a Prize Patrol.
