“Our campaign goal is $3 million,” Baker said. “We are at almost 2.6 right now. We are closing in on that. Obviously, we still have a ways to go and every dollar counts. I want everyone to realize no matter how big or how small your participation is very much needed and would be very, very much appreciated.”
