Raising more than $1.5 million in this economy is reason enough to celebrate. But United Way of Hall County President and Chief Professional Officer Jackie Wallace said the organization’s Annual Celebration and Volunteer Recognition event is about much more than a successful fundraising campaign. The annual event was scheduled in April this year in honor of National Volunteer Month and was held Wednesday afternoon at the Gainesville Civic Center.
