Press Release: Maggie  Valley Club & Resort pitches in for Flood Relief

 

MAGGIE VALLEY, NC – In a heartfelt community effort, Maggie Valley Club & Resort has donated nearly $7,000 to Mountain Projects’ Emergency Relief Fund to support local flood relief efforts.

“We had members reaching out, eager to help flood survivors,” said Linda Flahardy, Facilitator of the Maggie Valley Club & Resort Member Advisory Group. “Together, we chose to partner with Mountain Projects because of their long-standing history in the community and their direct connection to those in need of support.”

The funds will assist local residents affected by Hurricane Helene with essential needs such as housing repairs, furniture, clothing, and other basic necessities. T

he donation was raised during a Christmas party featuring a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle, attended by 100 members and community guests.

“We are thrilled to partner with Mountain Projects,” said Tom Olliff, President of the Maggie Valley Men’s Golf Association. “We hope, in some small way, this contribution will make a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors impacted by the hurricane.”
