Mark your calendars for an evening of cocktails, barbecue, and dancing music.
The Highlands Community Fund will be hosting Rise and Shine for the Highlands Community Fund at The Bascom at 6:30 P.M. June 7.
There will be an evening of 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 gives to the Highlands community.
Since 1966, the Highlands Community Fund has raised permanent endowment funds for the 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 has made 97 grants to 28 organizations, totaling more than $580,000.
Recent grants have supported projects at The Literacy Council of Highlands, Hudson Library, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Highlands, the Middle School Courtyard Project at Highlands School, The Bascom, the Martin-Lipscomb Performing Arts Center, the Gordon Center for Children, Highlands Community Child Development Center, Blue Ridge Mountain Health Project, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, the Peggy Crosby Community Service Center, and the Highlands Emergency Council.
So Rise and Shine for the Highlands Community Fund and come enjoy a night of great food and entertainment. Tickets to this event are $75 and the dress is mountain casual.
