MARYVILLE, Mo. — Be Better By Beemer, a nonprofit organization run by James and Johnna Beemer and Dakota and Brittany Beemer, donated $5,000 to The Source Medical Clinic on Dec. 7.

The Beemers created the organization to help give back to the community, they said, raising funds through various events including the Northwest Showdown Truck and Tractor Pull in May. The event also featured a “truck show & shine” during the day. The organization plans to hold the event again next year on a date to be announced soon, according to a news release from BBBB.

The Beemers said they chose The Source because “they offer a variety of services for all ages, and they do not charge,” and The Source’s help for mothers and children especially stood out, they said. The money will be used to help construct The Source’s new building on South Main Street.
