The numbers are in for the "Lost my Tips" fundraiser in Downtown Lafayette.
The fund raised more than $52,000 for people in the service industry affected by the pandemic. That means 250 workers are getting checks for $200.
What remains is being donated to the United Way.
Community members helped the fundraiser exceed the original goal of $30,000.
In March, a "Lost my Gig" fund to help local musicians raised more than $30,000.
