The United Way of Central Kentucky will be hosting their Skydive for Change event at the Elizabethtown Regional Airport from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Skydivers were required to raise $1,500 in order to participate. United Way of Central Kentucky Director of Development Andrea Hill says that participants have come from all over.
“We have business owners, small businesses here,” Hill said. “We have Brian Smith, our county clerk, and his wife, Brianne Smith. You know, she works for us, and Brianne is actually committed to do that because it meant that other women would sign up.”
All funds raised support the United Way’s Good Neighbor Program, which helps at-risk community members stay in their homes by organizing home renovation projects.
“The first project we’re doing, we need to raise at least $5,000, which we have,” Hill said. “We have a woman that is in need of a bathroom repair. It’s her only bathroom in her home and the floor is about to cave in.”
The link to donate to the event can be found on the United Way of Central Kentucky Facebook page.
