On June 10, the Clifton Forge Little League held a fundraiser, which doubled as a car show, for the Alleghany Highlands Family Emergency Relief Fund. This fund, designed to assist families during their time of need, can also be used by individuals. It is designed to cover small things such as gas vouchers, or big things like electric bills.
Chris Rohr, vice president, and communications officer of the Clifton Forge Little League, said the fundraiser collected over $1,000 for the Alleghany Highlands Family Emergency Relief Fund. They raised $510 from entry and vendor fees, $500 from the grill raffle, and $52 from the 50/50 drawing, totaling $1,062.
Forty-fixe vehicles registered for the show and the top ten in the show, according to entry number and in no particular order were: #3 Nelson Falls, #5 Robert Robertson, #18 R.L. Floyd, #19 Jack Bowyer, #23 Edward Coffey, #24 Allen Cottrill, #25 Billy Staton, #27 Norman Thomas, #34 Mack and Liz Higgins, and #40 Pee Wee Kingery. The winner of the grill was Josh Jerose, though no name has been provided for the 50/50 winner.
Rohr says this is the third year the Clifton Forge Little League has done this fundraiser and plans are already underway for a repeat next year.
