The employees of Verso’s Androscoggin Mill in Jay recently presented the United Way of the Tri-Valley Area with a symbolic check for $142,879.64 toward this year’s United Way campaign.

The donation is an increase of $4,000 over last year’s campaign, a $24,000 increase from 2011 and a $61,000 increase from 2010 donations.

The money represents more than one third of the local United Way’s entire fundraising amount for the year, and will go to 18 organizations that will help about one in every three people in this area.

Verso Corporation also contributes to the United Way campaigns at each of its locations nationwide. This year the company pledged to give more than $14,800 additional to the Androscoggin Mill campaign.
