37% of Russell County children are living in poverty. The $73,000 raised this year for Kevin's Kids will certainly make a positive impact in many lives!
Kevin Williams, founder of Kevin's Kids, was in Russell Co. yesterday (Wednesday) to present the check to R.C. school officials. This year was the 6th annual concert held to raise money for Russell County children in need. The concert broke another record... $73,000! The money is solely used by the school’s Youth and Family Resource Center to buy essential items like clothes, shoes, back-packs, hygiene products, etc.
Over $270,000 has been raised in the past 6 years for Kevin's Kids and organizers will be meeting soon to begin work on next year's concert.
