Mulvane Flood 2016 Relief Fund
Donazione protetta
On August 19th, 2016 WPT League, World Entertainment and Uncle Roy's Tavern were celebrating Old Settlers Days in Mulvane Kansas with the rest of our small community. Uncle Roy's Tavern (Home office of World Poker Tour League) had been open 1 Day and this was our soft opening.
Before we knew it 22 patrons (including Myself, Roy, Shane and volunteers and our Security Team) were trapped in the building as a flash flood surrounded us with 4-5' of water. We were able to all escape safely after a terrifying ordeal (will post later with complete details).
The next morning we gathered at the Home Office to assess the damages and try to figure out what to do next. We decided the best thing to do was to try to help others that had also been affected. Needless to say with the help of volunteers from all around we were able to put the parking lot back together and host a fundraiser to help all the people of Mulvane that were affected the very next day. We managed to raise just over $3000 for the community and businesses affected, but that is not nearly enough.
This community has already shown that they will not be sunk. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that cannot get assistance. Together WE can help everyone.
Please donate whatever you can (a small $5 donation quickly adds up) to help rebuild this small Kansas town.. We have multiple businesses and families that have lost everything.
For those that wish to donate by CHECK, please mail to CARSON BANK, 122 W Main St, Mulvane, KS 67110
There are 3 accounts you can choose from.
One to help Flood Relief Businesses - make payable to "Mulvane Downtown Revitalization" and put #WPThelps or #URThelps in the memo line so we know it came from you.
One that is tax deductible - make payable to "Care & Share" and put #WPThelps or #URThelps in the memo line so we know it came from you.
And one that is for Residents that may not be able to get other assistance - make payable to "Flood Relief" and put #WPThelps or #URThelps in the memo line so we know it came from you.
Funds donated here will be shared between all three accounts. (unless you specify which account listed above in your initial donation comments)
Thank you for your support.
