The Colonel John S. Mosby Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 1237 Commander Bruce Colton presented a Thompson/Center 50 caliber muzzle-loading rifle to Blaine Keller of Kellers Insurance at 115 Water Street in Front Royal. Blaine was the winner of the annual fundraising raffle Camp 1237.

The Camp 1237 members make donations to various non-profits in Warren County.

Also, donations to the Blue Ridge Heritage Project and Warren Rifles are just a few.
