Platte River Charity Shoot Sees Great Turn Out With safety procedures and precautions in place, Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska and event partner, Hornady Manufacturing hosted the 27th Annual Platte River Charity Shoot at the Heartland Public Shooting Park, located west of Grand Island. Despite facing new challenges with COVID-19, the event had the advantage of being an outdoor event and having the ability to spread things out compared to what had been done in previous years. Individual shooters competed for six places in four Lewis Class Divisions, having the opportunity to win some amazing prizes that included several shot guns, optics, gift bags and ammo. Youth shooters had a chance to win one of eight college scholarships that were given away totaling $5,000. In addition, corporate teams won some great prizes. The event overall saw an outstanding turn out with 27 individuals, 23 corporate teams and 29 youth/adult team entries. Many Goodwill employees, board members and friends of Goodwill volunteered their time to help with the event. “We couldn’t have done it without the outstanding sponsors, shooters and volunteers. The community’s support for our event this year was amazing” said Lindsey Miles, Director of Marketing and Development, who was the event coordinator. The Platte River Charity Shoot is Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska’s only fundraiser besides the annual drive that kicks off in November. Funds raised at the event help support the mission services & programs that Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska provides for individuals experiencing a developmental disability, mental health condition, substance use disorder, acquired brain injury or face barriers such as poverty or involvement in the legal system.
