In 2020, the year of the CO- VID-19 global pandemic, the same family that owns the eight-lane bowling establishment in Wyan- dotte went above and beyond the call of duty. DAVE Robert Woelkers of Riverview GORGON and sister Judy Sadler of Trenton Wyandotte Warrior and their family members and friends combined to raise more than $10,000 for the Goodfellows in a year that the charity’s volunteers were wondering how they were going to raise any funds because of the coronavirus. Todd Browning, treasurer of the Goodfellows and city treasurer in Wyandotte, said the pandemic forced the cancellation of a number of annual fundraising efforts in 2020, which raised concerns about how to pay the Christmas gift-giving bills. The Wyandotte Street Art Fair was cancelled so the Goodfellows could not raise money by “selling” Photo courtesy of the Woelkers family Ryan Gorgon, grandson of Biddle Bowl’s Robert and Valarie Woelkers, helps load empty returnable SEE GENEROSITY, Page 3 containers to return to stores as part of the fundraising efforts for the Wyandotte Goodfellows.
