UPDATE: The local United Way hit a major milestone with its Day of Impact on Friday, clearing $50,000 in donations across the community.
A large chunk of that money came through $1,000 contributions to break well-known community members free from prison bars through the Booked and Bailed event.
Final fundraising totals are still to be announced.
