Hopkinsville residents Cody Noffsinger and Chris Jung have been named co-chairmen for the United Way of the Pennyrile’s 2023-24 fundraising campaign.
They’ll be known as the Blues Brothers in their mission to “show why United Way and our agencies are the soul of the Pennyrile,” campaign organizers wrote in a Facebook post.
Traditionally, the United Way officially kicks off its campaign and announces a fundraising goal in September — and wraps the effort up in April or May the following year.
Money raised during the campaign helps 47 programs in 19 agencies that serve Christian, Caldwell, Todd and Trigg counties.
Noffsinger is a certified public accountant and the controller for Hopkinsville Electric System. He serves as the Christian County Chamber of Commerce Workforce Education Development chair. He is married to Melanie Noffsinger, and they have a daughter, Isabelle James.
Jung most recently was director of marketing and community relations for Jennie Stuart Health. Previously he worked for the city of Hopkinsville and the Kentucky New Era. He is an ambassador for the Christian County Chamber of Commerce and serves on the boards of Dyslexia Association of the Pennyrile and MEDI Inc. He is married to Brooke Jung, a previous co-chair for United Way’s campaign.
