News: Carter-Trent Funeral Homes Donates $5,000 to The P.H.I.L. Foundation 

In August 2021 and October 2021, Carter-Trent Funeral Homes donated a total of $5,000 to The P.H.I.L. Foundation. This sponsorship was very helpful in making sure the money raised at their 9th Annual Little Ironman events will be used to assist families facing financial difficulties due to a medical crisis. 

Since they became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, The P.H.I.L. Foundation have been able to assist several families in our own community who have had the unfortunate situation of caring for a sick loved one. The Little Ironman event is their largest fundraiser and provides the majority of their family assistance revenue.
