"The challenge is pretty simple - beat UMHB," said Danette Toone, Temple College vice president of academic and community initiatives. Toone is referring to a challenge between Temple College and University of Mary Hardin-Baylor United Way of Central Texas campaigns.

The United Way of Central Texas hopes to raise $1.7 million this year, which will help fund 28 different health and human services agencies.

Both TC and UMHB are asking staff to donate $1 a week to the United Way.
