A Community Coming Together - 2017

The perks of living in a small town is when some one is in need the community will always come together and help. This issue is a perfect example of that happening.
​
The Second Annual Bingo for Boobies event is dedicated in memory of Shelia Herren Fincher who battled cancer for 17 years. Shelia and her husband Bob attended the first event and they helped raise $12,000 for the Tanner Medical Foundation's Mammogram Assistance Fund.

The community came together again and raised $63,000 for the Handley High School's football team who had won the State Championship title. This money would cover travel, rings, and more for the Handley Tigers.

Then again,  when the family of Greg East decided the best way to honor him was through a scholarship in his memory. The initial goal was to raise $500 and give to a deserving senior. They designed a T-shirt and put it out on social media in hopes of selling enough to raise the money. They were able to raise $2000 and gave away two scholarships in Randolph County.
