Rise and Shine for Highlands
Written By: Caroline Cook | Issue: 2016/08 - August
August is here and it’s time to party!
Rise and Shine and put on your dancing shoes. The 2nd Annual Rise and Shine celebration is scheduled for 6:30 P.M. on August 7 at The Bascom.
Mark your calendars for an evening of cocktails, barbecue, and dancing music.
The evening will be full 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 great food, dancing, and great fun. It’s also a time to get to know the Highlands Community Fund Board and the tremendous support it provides for the Highlands community.
Since 1996, 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 since inception has 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, now is the time to Rise and Shine and put on your 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.
