Story

Help me in my effort to raise money for the Old Fort Strong Fund. This fund is dedicated to helping support community members in Old Fort who have lost their homes or had significant damage to their homes and will not receive any help to pay for rebuilding from insurance.  Due to the massive flooding that took place outside of historic flood zones, many homes did not have flood insurance to cover this cost.  In total 50+ homes were lost in McDowell County alone.  The goal is to raise $2,000,000 from this event alone to help in this cause.  All donations will go directly to helping those in need in our community.  

Hey, my name is Brooke, I live in Lenoir, NC just an hour away from Old Fort. I've been participating with Tanawha Adventures as both a runner and a volunteer for the past year and I've been hiking in the area for almost a decade. Old Fort is the home-base for many of these races and McDowell County is filled with some of the best hikes in Western Carolina, because of this Old Fort is like a second home to me. I'm participating in the 6 hour run race to help raise money for this amazing Western Carolina community. Even just one dollar can make a difference. Thank you for your donation and support! 

If you wish to make a donation by check or a large donation ($1,000+) via wire transfer, please email jason@campgrier.org for further details on how we can accommodate that request.
