A local family of casinos has raised over $11,000 to support Anaconda.
Following the August 1 shooting at the Owl Bar that killed four people, three Helena area casinos stepped in to help.
“It was just a little hometown bar, and it could have been any one of us,” said Mayme Folio, the operations manager for several local casinos.
Those feelings of sadness and the fact that it hit so close to home, as a small town bar manager herself, inspired the fundraising efforts.
