Nevada businesswoman Debbie McCarthy, better known as About Town Deb, is organizing the fundraiser to help the Foundation support the fire victims. They are getting over 250 applications for assistance daily and to date have given away $100,000 to over 500 families impacted either by losing their homes in the fire, or being displaced due to longterm evacations.

This follows one she held last week at Dorinda's Chocolate where $350 was collected for the relief fund.

#TogetherWeAreOne is a social connection campaign started by McCarthy that partners with local organizations and charitable causes monthly to remind all "we are one heart."
