Local Man Helps Disadvantaged Youth
A former Buncombe County deputy gives back to his community after they gave him a second chance at life. Monetary donations from friends and family helped Donnie Cole get a heart transplant several years ago, now he's repaying the favor.
Donnie noticed a need in his grandson's youth football league. There were a lot of kids who wanted to play football but couldn't afford it. Donnie hit up local businesses for donations and raised $1,200 in three days. The money will help register and outfit three or four children.
