Old Fort Strong Endurance Festival
Camp Grier is proud to host The Old Fort Strong Endurance Festival December 7, 2024. The goal of this event is to raise awareness and funding for the Old Fort Strong Fund, which aims to put money directly into the hands of Old Fort residents and businesses as they rebuild their homes and repair their businesses affected by Hurricane Helene. Over 50 homes in Old Fort were either damaged or completely destroyed. Our goal is to raise a minimum of 2 million in donations for this fund to help provide relief, rebuild homes, and support local businesses that have suffered in Old Fort. The in person event has sold out but there are still virtual spots available as well. If you'd like to support rebuilding homes in Old Fort please consider sponsoring a racer.
