After witnessing hundreds of people from across America and the world visiting Historic Neir’s Tavern to recreate the iconic Goodfellas scene filmed at Neir’s Tavern, Loycent decided to attach a fundraiser to it so he can help an employee’s mom who was struggling with breast cancer.
Almost every year he’s used the Neir’s Tavern Goodfellas Challenge, that often now gain a lot of attention on social media during the Holiday season, to raise funds or awareness for a cause.
This year embolden by another Goodfellas Challenge post that gained nearly 500,000 views, Loycent thought this viral posts should be used for something meaningful.
So, this year the owner, Loycent Gordon, being a Jamaican watching fellow Jamaican and award winning anchor Ruschell Boone battle pancreatic cancer, decided to use this year’s Goodfellas challenge to raise funds and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
“After communicating with Ruschell a few months ago, I donated $500 to fund the cure. But I thought maybe i can do more. So I decided to use the annual Goodfellas Challenge to honor Ruschell, a fellow Jamaican, by dedicating this Goodfellas Challenge to her battle and all those who have battled this terrible diagnosis”
