LESS THAN 24 HOURS. ❤️
Tomorrow night, Canal Fulton gets its chance to do what this community does best:
Show up for one of our own.
HARE STRONG is almost here, and because of the incredible response from this community, it has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined.
Local businesses, first responders, organizations, friends, families, and neighbors have stepped forward in a huge way. We now have several thousand dollars worth of donated raffle items ready for tomorrow night.
To everyone who donated an item, volunteered, shared the event, bought a shirt, contributed financially, or simply asked “How can I help?” — thank you.
You helped build this.
HERE’S WHAT’S WAITING FOR YOU TOMORROW NIGHT:
🎶 Live Music�🍽️ Dinner at The Barrel Room on Canal�🚚 Food Trucks�🛍️ Vendor Tables�🎟️ Several thousand dollars in raffle prizes�🥾 Pass the Boot�❤️ All evening proceeds donated to the Hare family
📍 The Barrel Room on Canal • Canal Fulton�📅 Monday, August 31�⏰ 5:30–8:30 PM
🪑 PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CHAIRS
If you want to sit back and enjoy the live music, bring a chair with you.
Come early. Grab some food. Visit the vendors. Buy some raffle tickets. Stay awhile.
And while you’re in Canal Fulton, don’t forget to stop at the Canal Fulton VFW.
They’re standing behind Hare Strong too and will be MATCHING DONATIONS UP TO $600 TOTAL.
That’s what this community has looked like throughout this entire effort — one person, one organization, one business after another stepping forward and saying:
Count us in.
A very special THANK YOU to The Barrel Room on Canal for helping bring this night together and opening their doors to our community.
And to every individual, local business, organization, fire department, vendor, musician, donor, and volunteer who has contributed — this night simply would not be possible without you.
This has become more than a fundraiser.
It’s a hometown reminding Jarod and his family that when life gets heavy, they don’t have to carry it alone.
