TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Florida A&M University (FAMU) has something to celebrate, breaking a record with their annual United Way fundraising drive.

Friday, FAMU President Elmira Mangum, Ph.D., announced that the University's drive raised more than $44,400 for the organization. That is more than double the amount they raised last year of $20,875.
