Columbia Adair County, Breeding And Knifley Fire Departments Raise $67,431 For Crusade For Children

From Grant Loy: “Thank you, Adair County! We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of the 73rd annual WHAS Crusade for Children. This is a truly special cause, with 100% of the funds raised coming right back into our community to support local children through programs like our school system and other vital services. 

We are proud to share that the Columbia–Adair County Fire Department raised a total of $63,850.00. This effort would not have been possible without the dedication of our Crusade Chairman, Phillip Richard, who put in countless hours behind the scenes, along with the hard work of our volunteer firefighters & their families. From the Pancake Breakfast and Chili Supper to the roadblocks, their commitment made a huge impact. 

We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department and Knifley Area Volunteer Fire Department for their continued partnership—both in raising funds and assisting with roadblocks this year. 

Together, all three departments raised a combined total for Adair County of $67,431.00 for the WHAS Crusade for Children. 

Your generosity continues to make a difference in the lives of children right here in Adair County. We couldn’t do it without you.”
