MusicFest 2011

My name is Amanda Rey, and I, along with a small but dedicated team of volunteers in NWA, the River Valley, as well as Central AR, are in the midst of planning a charity event that will ultimately provide awareness for the Arkansas Emergency Disaster Relief Fund on an annual basis. Volunteers have been working diligently to repair and rebuild since the deadly tornado on May 25 that ripped through the small communities of Denning, Etna, Altus and Clarksville. Presently, it seems that attention, volunteer efforts and funding to the affected area have dwindled while costs and need for more of the aforementioned continues to rise.

2 months ago, our neighbors faced ravaging storms that swept through in the middle of the night and damaged their property beyond belief. To this day, the amount of debris in addition to new growth is overwhelming clean-up crews, some of which consist mostly of churches filled with teenagers on day trips.

How can you help?
Your donations will help us raise the critical dollars to help our neighbors rebuild the homes and property lost in catastrophic natural disasters.

Still needed in our state: weed eaters, work gloves, air conditioners, cots for the out-of-town volunteer workers, electrolyte replacement drinks for volunteers working in extreme temperatures, as well as continued volunteer response.

SPONSOR MUSICFEST 2011
This event has the potential to be an annual music festival that will showcase some of the Natural State’s “natural talent”, as well as provide an excellent avenue for your business to participate in a yearly charity event that also helps to relieve some of the financial burden associated with recovery from catastrophic natural disasters.

For more information on how you can help, please contact Amanda Rey.
