PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Pikeville Medical Center and Double Kwik are doing their part to help the victims of the western Kentucky tornadoes.
On Tuesday, PMC president and CEO Donovan Blackburn and Childers Oil/Double Kwik president Missy Matthews presented a check for $42,000 to Christian Appalachian Project for tornado relief.
“In 2012, people in Western Kentucky wasted no time helping our region following a deadly tornado outbreak,” Blackburn said. “This past December, communities in the western part of the state found themselves in a similar situation grieving the loss of loved ones and facing millions of dollars in damages. Our employees and our community began looking for ways to help almost immediately.”
The two companies worked together to raise the money.
“Both Double Kwik and Pikeville Medical Center are committed to helping others,” Matthews said. “The need is great in western Kentucky, and we simply gave members of our community opportunities to donate to their recovery. In our region, we are proud to say we truly know the value of helping our neighbors, even those on the other side of the state.”
