As Genesis Express continues its push to raise money for its intergenerational center on Lafayette Street, the Edge Media Group is sponsoring an event this Friday to help the Trigg County non-profit with matching funds.
The Gift It Forward event will be Friday from 3 to 5 at Hancock’s Market in Cadiz. Edge Media Group Owner and General Manager Beth Mann said it allows community members to pay it forward to Genesis Express by giving money in someone’s honor or memory.

Because the non-profit supports its various programs with catering and barbecue sales, Mann said getting the kitchen complete first was a top priority.
