Due to the current situation concerning the coronavirus, Friends of Founders Park has cancelled this year's Low Country Shrimp Boil fundraising event. We plan to have Highland's signature fundraising event next year. It was a difficult decision to make. The "Friends" Board of Directors did not feel confident the event would not pose safety problems to our patrons and our community. Stay tuned and we look forward to having another successful event in 2021. Your continued interest to help Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park a great public place is very much appreciated. |
One hundred percent of the proceeds will provide funds for the benefit of the
Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park including providing color and ongoing care for
the Park. All donations to Friends of Founders Park, a 501 (c) 3 organization, are
tax-deductible.
