Joe Showker, longtime supporter of James Madison University Football, talks about the Dukes Support Mountaineers campaign. An effort to raise funds to help the Boone North Carolina area and students at Appalachian State University. From Madison to Boone: JMU Makes a Difference. Disaster relief fund to support Appalachian State and their disaster relief efforts. JMU alumni, staff, patrons, and friends, Joe and Debbie Showker were driven to lead an effort to support our SunBelt peers, “Debbie and I are honored to support our Blue Ridge neighbors and lead relief efforts from our JMU nation.” Click on this link to donate: The Community Foundation
