Goodfellow Fund

Meeting each year, the day after Thanksgiving at Angelo's Barbecue, a group of high school athletes and coaches from the 1940's and 50's reminisce, tell jokes and gather donations for the Goodfellow Fund. The retirees' contributions year after year of passing the 'donation jug' around is appreciated!

‘We are Goodfellows’

In 1914, a lyric-writing contest for a Goodfellows Club song included this one from a Re*****on typewriter saleswoman named Alice Haliburton.

Oh, we are Goodfellows,
For we take good cheer
To the little kiddies
Santa Claus holds dear.
See our banner’s waving
O’er a faithful band
And we say unto you
‘Lend a helping hand.’

Be part of the “jolly crew” by sending a contribution to Goodfellows, P.O. Box 1870, Fort Worth, TX 76101. Or go online to goodfellowfund.com and make a credit-card donation.

Donors have helped make Christmas real for over 100 years In the days following a November 1912 front-page invitation for Star-Telegram readers to “be Santa Claus” to needy children, appeals in a column of Twitter-length notices called Little Locals urged “men & boys” to join The Goodfellows Club.
