By Lindsey Miles

Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska and event partner, Hornady Manufacturing hosted the 28th Annual Platte River Charity Shoot on Saturday, July 17th at the Heartland Public Shooting Park, located west of Grand Island Individual shooters competed for six places in four Lewis Class Divisions, having the opportunity to win some amazing prizes that included 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 65 individuals, 35 corporate teams and 27 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. During the awards ceremony, a plaque was presented to Nancy, Badura, wife of the late Larry Badura in honor of his years of volunteerism and dedication to planning the Platte River Charity Shoot.
