MONTGOMERY, AL – The Central Alabama Community Foundation (CACF) was honored to partner with WSFA for an all-day telethon to raise funds in order to give back to those impacted by the tornado on January 12. The tornado tore through the state and devasted those in Autauga, Coosa, Dallas, and Elmore counties. The tornado left much in its wake and CACF was ready to step up and help these individuals immediately.

The telethon took place on January 18 from 6:00 am to 6:30 pm. Through the generosity and compassion of those throughout the River Region, over $167,000 was raised. This money will go to those in the affected communities to help them pick up the pieces and get back on their feet.
