Rise & Shine For Charity
Written By: Caroline Cook | Issue: 2016/07 - July
Now that winter is over, spring has sprung and summer is here, it’s time to put away your stylish boots.
Rise and Shine and dust off your dancing shoes. The 2nd Annual Rise and Shine event is scheduled for 6:30 P.M. on August 7 at The Bascom.
The evening will be filled with enjoyment starting with cocktails, then a delicious barbecue dinner catered by Lovie’s of Atlanta. There will be a time to kick up your heels with dancing music provided by the Caribbean Cowboys.
This is an evening of pure enjoyment and a time to get to know the Highlands Community Fund Board and the wonderful support it does for the Highlands community.
Since 1966, the Highlands Community Fund has raised permanent endowment funds for our community. Each year, the earnings from these funds are used to make grants to nonprofits serving Highlands. In partnership with The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, the Highlands Community Fund since inception, made 112 grants to 30 organizations totaling $695,531.
Recent grants have supported projects at The Literacy Council of Highlands, The Bascom, The Gordon Center for Children, Community Care Clinic of Highlands – Cashiers, Highlands Cashiers Land Trust, The Peggy Crosby Community Service Center, and Friends of Founders Park.
So Rise and Shine and dust off those dancing shoes for the Highlands Community Fund. Come to The Bascom and enjoy a night of great food, fun, and entertainment. Tickets to this event are $100. The dress is mountain casual.
