The First Knoxville Yoked Church/Broken Chains JC (Jesus Christ) Rally on Saturday, June 5 raised more than $3,000 to help support local addiction recovery.

With help from the Austinburg Baptist Church Youth Group guided by Youth Pastor David Laurens, the Knoxville Firemen's Pavilion was decked out with banners, bright balloons, hope-filled scripture verses and +Plus One More memory sheets bearing names of many lost from addiction.

"Rally of Hope," the name given to the bike rally, was featured on a pictorial postmark designed by Colleen Mortimer. The postmark and two cachet covers with either the 55-cent Drug Free USA stamp or the Celebrate stamp were available for sale at the event with proceeds going toward area recovery efforts.
