K-LOVE and Convoy of Hope Partner with Michael McDowell's No. 34 to Raise Funds for Florence Disaster Response
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (PRWEB) September 27, 2018 -- K-LOVE Radio and Michael McDowell are supporting Convoy of Hope’s continued response to Hurricane Florence this weekend during the NASCAR Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The No. 34 K-LOVE Radio Ford will display a Convoy of Hope decal, and McDowell and his team’s primary partner will encourage fans to text GIVEHOPE to 50555 to donate $25.
“A lot of people might think the worst of this storm is over, but there is still severe flooding in some parts of the Carolinas,” McDowell said. “Convoy of Hope has mobilized more than 1,600 volunteers to the impacted areas and helped more than 55,000 people. But their work isn’t over, and K-LOVE and Front Row Motorsports want to make sure the NASCAR audience knows that and hope they can help.”
Convoy of Hope quickly responded to Hurricane Florence and immediately began serving residents after the storm made landfall. Thanks to the generosity of others and the hard work of volunteers, Convoy has distributed more than 1 million pounds of relief supplies in 27 communities across the Carolinas. Convoy has begun a clean-up campaign to help remove trees and storm debris from properties.
"Awareness of tragic events like Hurricane Florence come in many forms. K-LOVE and Michael McDowell have come together in a united effort of kindness to offer a unique opportunity that will bring needed awareness and much needed funding to serve those impacted in the Carolinas” said Jeff Nene, Convoy of Hope’s national spokesperson.
Convoy of Hope has set up a special donation page to be used throughout the Charlotte ROVAL race weekend: convoy.org/ROVAL. Fans can donate any amount online, or they can text GIVEHOPE to 50555 to donate $25.
