YMCA’s Gallop for Good fundraiser takes place Sunday

The YMCA of Hopkinsville is putting on a fundraiser for their annual campaign this Sunday, and people are invited to attend “Gallop for Good” at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming and Hotel.

Outreach and Enrichment Director Amanda Crutchfield appeared on WHOP News recently and says this is the fourth time they’ve held this event and this year will be at the racetrack itself where 12 racers will compete.

She says tickets are $10 per person and all funds raised goes back to benefit the many programs offered by the YMCA, including the feeding program, scholarships for members and more.

Crutchfield says you can also donate online ahead of time to your favorite jockey—things get underway at 2 p.m. Sunday and she says it will be a lot of fun for everyone.

Donations can be made at hopkinsvilleymca.org, which is also where you can find more information on what the YMCA does in the community, how much it is for a membership and more.
