Portlight Strategies, Inc.

First responders and the forestry service have done an excellent job of containing the Myrtle Beach wildfires.  Hopefully this trend will continue in the coming days and the remaining hot spots will be extinguished.  This fire has claimed over 70 homes and 21,000 acres of land. 

On April 28th, 2009 Portlight Strategies, Inc. delivered drinks to rural fire fighters that are still "mopping up" after the Myrtle Beach wildfires. This process of extinguishing embers and hot spots will likely continue for several weeks as they work to prevent any further loss from these devastating fires. The drinks Portlight delivered were greatly appreciated as all they had on the truck was water. We are proud to have aided and salute the first responders who put it on the line to keep us safe.

During this trip we also identified other needs in this rural community near Nixonville, SC. We are currently working to determine how we can further assist this community as they recover from these wildfires. 

We need your help as we move forward with this relief effort.  In the coming days, needs will rapidly arise as victims begin to start putting their lives back together.  You can help!  Donations can be made through the PayPal button above, or mailed to the address below.  Please place For SC Wildfires on checks, or utilize the special instruction feature on PayPal.
