Mitch Grainger Love Fund

 92.1 Radio Station made a plea for The Late Harold Grainger, wife  Barbara Grainger, and family. Their son, Mitch Grainger, passed away on February 9th in Foley, Alabama. The community has banded together to raise funds for the expense of moving Mitch back to his hometown by aircraft and then the expense of an unexpected funeral.

The Grainger family has been overwhelmed with the generosity of the community, and thank you for  each and every donation.

As the need continues, anyone wanting to make a donation to the Mitch Grainer Love fund, may do so at any of the three Adrian Bank Locations. Make checks payable to :

Barb Grainer in care of the Mitch Grainger Love fund.
