Success for Masonboro.Org
Benefit Raises Over $10,000
Our Third Annual Benefit and Silent Auction was a true success!
We raised over $10,000 on June 13! Plus, we signed up volunteers for our Fourth
of July event on the Island and had a great time! Many thanks to the businesses
that generously contributed items for raffles and auction and congrats to the
high bidders. Plus, we appreciate you - our donors and members - who protect
the tradition of Masonboro Island. Without your commitment we would not be able
to do the good work we do.
A small part of the money we raised will go towards our efforts
on the Fourth of July. This year will mark the fourth year that Masonboro.Org
will be on the island -- working to keep it clean on the most populated
day of the year. Last year, over 70 Masonboro.org volunteers handed out trash
bags and talked to the island’s visitors. We spread the word about New Hanover
County’s most precious resource and encouraged the old Scout motto: leave a
place a little better than you found it. In 2012 we did just that.
We removed and recycled over 4,000 lbs. of trash.
If you'd like to be a part of the effort on the Fourth of July, please CLICK HERE to volunteer. There are three shifts to choose from and a variety of roles to fill! Plus, MARK YOUR CALENDAR! On Monday, July 1, we'll have a volunteer fire drill and cook-out at the Johnson's home. We'll serve up burgers and dogs and provide tea and water. Bring a friend, your favorite adult beverages and a side dish to share. At 6pm we will have a short talk about our volunteer needs and preview the plans for the Fourth. Mostly, we will spend the time sharing memories and getting to know others who share the same love for Masonboro that you do.
Masonboro.org is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to preserve public access for future generations and our key message is to PROTECT THE TRADITION OF MASONBORO ISLAND. We believe that keeping it clean today insures that our families can enjoy their own traditions tomorrow. With the support of members like you, we will keep Masonboro Island clean and open.
