Social Media, Volunteerism Highlight 2015 McLean Co. United Way Effort

McLean County United Way 2015 campaign co-chairs Sonja Reece (left) and Scott Preston check their Twitter feeds for updates on this year's campaign.

Social media is playing a big part in the campaign's effort to increase fundraising, volunteerism and overall commitment by 8%. WGLT's Willis Kern has more.

Willis is a Bloomington, IL, native. During his senior year at Bloomington High School, he finished third in the "Radio Speaking" division of the state speech contest, the only year he competed.
