12/17/13 - Local officials say Monday marked a great day to see the Livingston County community really shine and come together to help support those in need. Another Triple Money Monday is on the books for the Livingston County United Way. Final totals are not yet available but as of Monday night, United Way Executive Director Nancy Rosso says Triple Money Monday brought more than $123,000 in the door. Last yearâs total was $110,000. Rosso says circumstances are not improving with the economy for a lot of people and the funds will be put to good use to make sure their needs are met in the community. Rosso says theyâre grateful to all of the very generous residents who phoned, emailed, or stopped by with their contributions. She says the preliminary total will also be increased, to take into account additional on-line contributions that were made through midnight. A number of community members came out to support the event, when all donations received were able to be leveraged and tripled in value. Brighton business owner David Eldred stopped by the United Way offices on Dorr Road to donate, just as he has for roughly the past eight to ten years. He told WHMI that it all helps make a big difference, no matter what the amount. (JM)
