ASAP Launches Appalachian Grown Farmer Relief Fund
Rock the House for Animals livestream concert
ASAP has launched the Appalachian Grown Farmer Relief Fund to
strategically address the emergency needs of farms during COVID-19 disruptions. Funds will be used for public health preparedness grants to farmers markets, to subsidize essential farm product packaging, and to purchase unsold food for donation to hunger programs. Donations to the Appalachian Grown Farmer Relief Fund can be made online at asapconnections.org or by mail or phone.
In partnership with Sidewalk Angels Foundation, we invite you to Rock the House for Animals, a livestream concert to help support critical work for all animals, including help for pets and their people who are impacted by COVID-19.
Rob Thomas, along with Chris Daughtry and Gavin DeGraw, will perform live from their homes for a special evening benefiting animals across the country. Before the show begins, please join us for an exclusive look at how heroes are helping animals nationwide.
This exciting event will be streaming live on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch. We hope you’ll join us!

Funds raised at this event will kick-start the building project for a new Early Learning Center. The current center, which is one of two organizations in Buncombe County helping pre-K children with developmental disabilities, enrolls 100 children and has a wait list of more than 400! We need YOUR support to expand our program and offer services to more children and families in need.
Please consider registering as a player, a sponsor, or making a donation toward the cause. The day will be full of golf, great food, cold beer, and lots of prizes and giveaways! Visit the event website to learn more and register!
