The James Fisher Memorial Foundation, Preserve Communities’ charitable giving arm, will donate more than $65,000 to the Northampton County Education Foundation (NCEF) following its first annual Bay Creek Day of Giving.
“Community is one of our core values as a company and the Day of Giving brought together the Bay Creek and Cape Charles communities to support such an important organization within our own local community, Northampton County Education Foundation,” said Jennifer Buntin, Vice President of Marketing, Preserve Communities. “We are grateful for all who participated and donated and look forward to making the Bay Creek Day of Giving an impactful event for years to come.”
The inaugural event included a charity golf tournament on the Signature Palmer Course, raffle prizes, a silent auction and an evening benefit on the Nature Preserve under Bay Creek’s iconic Tree of Life. All proceeds from the event are included in the donation total along with an online matching campaign of up to $5,000 that Preserve Communities contributed equaling an impressive total donation of $65,161 to the Northampton County Education Foundation.
Linda Schultz, Chair of the NCEF Board, says, “The Northampton County Education Foundation was established to provide schools with important extras that are not supported by the school’s budget. I am out of superlatives to describe the magnitude of our appreciation for the outpouring of community support for the Northampton County public schools.”
NCEF provides local teachers with much-needed support for projects in the classroom during an especially trying time for education professionals. The donation from the Bay Creek Day of Giving will go towards school grants to teachers who want to try innovative tactics in the classroom, pre-k camp programs, higher education scholarships and the dual enrollment program.
