The ninth annual GoodGiving Challenge garnered more than $470,000 in donations for Clark County nonprofits.

Halee Cunningham, gift planning officer and deputy counsel with the Blue Grass Community Foundation, said the STRIDE program led the leaderboard in donations received, with the Clark County Homeless Coalition and Bluegrass Heritage Museum behind it.

The GoodGiving challenge is a partnership between Blue Grass Community Foundation and Smiley Pete Publishing and has raised $10 million for charities since 2011.

“We had 14 of the 23 nonprofits that fully met their $10,000 match,” Cunningham said. “Right now, we are still calculating the numbers and waiting on credit cards to be fully processed. It looks like we have exceeded $470,000 for all of the Clark County nonprofits, and that includes the Clark County Community Foundation match and other matches.”

Clark County nonprofits wrapped up the GoodGiving Challenge with the fourth annual GoodGiving Challenge Chili Cook-off Monday.

Hundreds of attendees sampled chili during the cook-off, which was presented by the Clark County Community Foundation at the College Park Gym.

Attendees also had the chance to vote on a first-, second- and third-place nonprofit.

The first-place winner was the Bluegrass Heritage Museum, who partnered with Team Mitchell Catering. They received $250. Second place was Achieving Recovery Together, who partnered with Hickman Street Grocery and received $100, and third place went to Winchester Youth Soccer League, who partnered with Loma’s at the Opera House and received $50.

Attendees also gave more than $250 via the tokens to the participating nonprofits.
