Family resource center pivots their annual fundraiser and seeks sponsors
HINTON, WV (WVNS) – On normal years, the REACHH-Family Resource Center would be holding their annual Dam Run 5K in April.
The purpose for this run is to fundraise for Child Abuse Prevention Month, which is April. Officials with REACHH have decided against holding the run this year, due to road work that is taking place at Bellepoint.
Josie McNeely is the director of the Summers County Child Advocacy Center, which is a branch of the REACHH-Family Resource Center.

She told 59News, they are still attempting to raise funds, but this time it will be with Child Abuse Prevention tee shirts.
'We just want to spread awareness of what you can look for in child abuse and what you can do if you feel like you suspect child abuse. We just want our community to have their eyes open and we want to protect our kids and our community,' said McNeely.
These funds will also assist REACHH's ability to hold events throughout the year to educate the public on child abuse prevention and other important matters.
They are seeking sponsors for these tee shirts, as well as yard signs that they are going to put out.
If you would like to sponsor, the deadline is March 21, 2025. You will get your name or company's name on the tee shirt and yard sign.
You can stop by their location at 411 Temple Street in Hinton to talk with them about sponsoring. They are open until 4 p.m. during the week. You can also call them at (304) 466-2226.
