Dexter, Missouri - The Larry B. Jones H.O.P.E. Campaign is giving back to local families by raising money for the our local charitable organization, 18 Fore Life.

Larry Jones was from Bloomfield, Missouri and passed away on March 14, 2011.  As a teenager, Larry was quite the athlete at Dexter Senior High School.  He was an accomplished sportsman, competing in football, wrestling, track and boxing and earned his nickname of "Arkansas Flash".

In honor of his brave fight with cancer that took his life, the Larry B. Jones H.O.P..E. Campaign was established to celebrate Healing, Optimism, Prayer and Example.  Those who wish to donate directly may send monies to 1428 W. Business Hwy 60, Dexter, Missouri 63841 or drop your donation off at the Bank of Advance in dexter, Advance or Bell City, Missouri.

This month, they are raffling two wonderful prizes to raise money for 18 Fore Life.  Purchase a ticket and you will win one of two $500 Wal-Mart gift cards.  Tickets are $1 each or six tickets for $5.  Tickets may be purchased at Allen Christian Buick GMC in Dexter and Autry Morlan Chevrolet-Cadillac in Dexter.
