Old Fort Strong Endurance Festival

Old Fort is my home and heart! I love this little town and the people in it. After Helene hit, I started an t-shirt fundraiser and purchased nearly $6000 in supplies that we shuttled back to our town from Raleigh every day for a week. When our power returned before most of our neighbors’, we opened our doors to our community to come and take showers and do laundry. We will take every opportunity to serve and rebuild our community, including this one. Help me raise money for the Old Fort Strong Fund, 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.
