Scope and content
Three United Good Neighbors executives, including campaign chairman Robert P. Mallon (center) and Ft. Lewis commanding general Alexander R. Bollinger, Jr., hold up a white football labeled with the date "Nov. 12." Time was growing short to reach the $1,928,000 goal set by the United Good Neighbors Fund of Pierce County, a predecessor of United Way. The 1971 fund raising campaign would officially end on Friday, the 12th, and the goal had yet to be met. Business and military leaders in the county lent a hand to raise contributions that would form a large portion of the budget of worthy member agencies such as the Salvation Army and Children's Home Society. Photograph ordered by the United Good Neighbors Fund of Pierce County. The name of the executive at the far left is not known.
