Caring for Dadeville Fund

Chuck's Marina and our team are deeply saddened by the tragic shooting that occurred in our community of Dadeville at a Sweet 16 party on April 15, 2023. Horrifically, 4 lives were taken far too soon and 32 other community members were injured, most of those lost and injured being teenagers. This event has caused significant pain and trauma in our small community and it is our hope that we support the victims and their families in the healing process. In order to support this effort, we have decided to make the weekend of Mother's Day, May 12-14th, all about remembering the children impacted by this tragedy and their loving mothers. We will be collecting donations at Chuck's Marina all weekend for the Caring for Dadeville Fund, which was established by the Community Foundation of East Alabama. All donations made to the Caring for Fund, minus credit card fees, will be distributed as grants to organizations that are addressing the ongoing needs of victims and community members. Together, we will send a message of love, compassion, and healing to the entire Dadeville community.


Donations accepted online, at Chuck's Marina and via Venmo: @CFEastAlabama
