Goldsboro Elks Lodge #139 and Speedway Gas Stationspartnered to sponsor an end of summer luncheon for the members and staff of theBoys and Girls Clubs of Wayne County. Between 28 June and 11 July, anytime a pizza or hot dog was bought at alocal Speedway franchise, an in-kind donation was made to the club. At the end of Speedway’s donation campaign,over 1000 pizzas and almost 500 hotdogs were donated which supplied lunch for150 kids and staff but also filled club refrigerators for use during theupcoming school year. In turn, the Elksdonated drinks, chips, and cookies for the luncheon. And together, Speedway employees and Elksmembers helped serve lunch and spend time with the kids. The idea for this donation campaignoriginated with Elks member and Speedway franchise owner Jackie Blalock, who quicklybrought the two organizations together to sponsor this successful event.
