Many of the traditional fundraising strategies for the Goodfellows Club have been a no-go this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the total donated already at $41,837, the club is on track to reach its 2020 goal of $106,000. That number was reduced from last yearâs $162,000 in anticipation of Goodfellows taking a 30% hit due to COVID-19, said Bob Clark, Goodfellows president.
In reality, Goodfellows expects to reach their goal despite the continuous uncertainty of COVID-19 in large part due to the continued support of both the private citizens and business community of Owensboro-Daviess County event in the face of their own hardships, Clark said.
