 August is hot and so are the savings at Appalachian Wireless where all smartphones are 50% off. Even the 64, 128 and 256 gig models, two-year agreement required, better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless and East Kentucky Network Company. Today marks the one-year anniversary that the arm drop guy Kent Rose passed away from complications of lung cancer. Kent had a passion for drag racing but it did not compare to his drive to make a positive impact on the children of this region, a drive that was with him until the very end. For as long as I've known him, he's always had a focus on kids and families. Even in his dying days he plotted and planned on ways to help. He talked hours and hours on potential events and benefits and areas that could be impacted with the proper planning. I remember a line that he used to say and post all the time. No matter where he went we'd run into so many kids that were less fortunate and he just wanted to give and do so much for him and he would always post. They had nothing that they gave me everything. Kent's insatiable drive to help the children and families of this area lives on today through the non-profit Kent Rose Foundation. The first step is a scholarship project. Kent wanted for years to do scholarships for kids and he wanted to do it on more of a vocational technical school level to make it more achievable. So we're working now to set up their criteria and that'll be announced soon. But in doing that we're also working with employers to get internships. So we're hoping not only to provide a scholarship but to find jobs for those recipients. For more information on the Kent Rose Foundation visit them at the web address listed on your screen.
