We have a few more benefits to report on. These are all to help the victims of the devastating floods that hit West Virginia last week.
Monday, July 4, APTiming will put on a free race at Kanwha State Forest in hopes that they can collect and raise donations to support those that were affected by the recent flooding. The race is completely free! They will be selling shirts and if you would like to order one, you may do so upon checking out. If they run out on race day, they plan to make a second order and mail it to you.
In addition, they will be collecting DONATIONS for Mountain Mission (their flood relief fund). You can donate money, water, food, cleaning supplies, animal food, etc…anything to help those in need. You may register online or on race day. Check out the event page at Facebook for more details.

Donations will be accepted (Cash, Cleaning Supplies, and Toiletries needed). There will be free music and free food (Hot Dogs, Chips, and Water).

Wow, Rudy, did you ever expect PopCult to take this serious a turn? But I’m very pleased that these events are doing what they can to provide assistance.
