By the time the curtains fall on the 1986 campaign, Thompson is hoping to have accumulated $1,825,000., a nine per-cent increase over the 1985 achievement. Money raised will fund the activities of 34 participating agencies. Details of the campaign to date were announced at a Labatt's Kuntz House get-together last night.
