To Support Area Non-Profits
The Board of Directors of the Morrisville Community Fund is hosting a Mardi Gras Gala on Saturday, February 9, at 7 p.m. at Perimeter Studio & Conference Center, 1100 Perimeter Park Drive in Morrisville. Live music from the Rhonda Robichaux Band will be featured, along with a silent auction and food from local restaurants.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Morrisville Community Fund, which supports nonprofit organizations serving Morrisville residents through an annual grants process. Past grant recipients include: the Cary Family YMCA for its summer camp program for Morrisville youth; the Kramden Institute for computers for low-income Morrisville youth; and Morrisville CERT for emergency preparedness equipment.
Tickets are available for $35 through any of the Board members. Tickets can also be purchased online through the North Carolina Community Foundation website, www.nccommunityfoundation.org. Call Jeanne Lawson at 919-256-6914 for details. To see a flyer with details, click here.

“We are excited to offer this fun event to the people of Morrisville. We all know the importance of supporting our non-profits and their work. We’re proud to give grants that enrich the lives of our families and citizens, and we hope that everyone will buy a ticket or make a donation to our fund so we can continue to give more and larger grants to deserving local non-profits,” Liz Johnson, Events Committee Chair said.
The Morrisville Community Fund is a fund of the North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF). The fund was started in 2011 and last year made its first grants.
