While the fundraising effort this weekend to benefit the Dollar Ridge Fire victims will help many families, the event organizers have also coordinated with officials to get even more bang for the donation dollar’s buck. The event was set up and named in such a way that it will qualify for state and federal funds. The cash that is raised, combined with the value of in-kind donations, is eligible for matching funds in the form of a state and federal grant. Event organizers plan to apply for those funds after the totals are added up from the fundraisers. For more information on the events this weekend, visit
