An online auction will also be launched Sept. 15 featuring items such as Colts memorabilia and locally donated merchandise.

Area students will get a chance to get involved this season as United Way hosts Live United Days at all Madison County schools. By donating a dollar to the campaign, students can participate in school-run fundraising events including crazy hat, sweatshirt, hair and socks days.

Each event is geared toward a goal of raising $1 million. “One million should be an attainable goal for Madison County,” Casuscelli said.
