This is what Longview Strong looks like.
To everyone who has donated, sponsored, volunteered, organized, shared, played music, brought items, or helped in any way — thank you.
Their music will help create a space where friends, families, riders, neighbors, and supporters can gather, take a breath, enjoy time together, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
Show Up. Give Back. Stand With Longview.
In moments of heartbreak, community matters. The people who show up matter. The businesses that give back matter. The neighbors who donate, volunteer, ride, sing, serve, cook, organize, share, and support — they all matter.
This Saturday, we invite you to join us at Scythe Brewing for the Longview Strong Nippon Poker Run Fundraiser.
Come for the ride. Come for the music. Come for the car show. Come for the food and brews. Come for the raffles and silent auction.
Most importantly, come to stand with the families impacted by the Nippon tragedy.
