Grant Awarded to the Pleasure Island Foundation







On Tuesday, October 28th, The Pleasure Island Foundation for a Sustainable Community was presented a $5,000 donation from the Cape Fear Garden Club to benefit the Boardwalk Makeover Project.

Arlene Mancini was instrumental in seeking out the Grant from the Cape Fear Garden Club in June of this year. Also involved in completing the Grant packet was Mayor Pro Tem Dan Wilcox, the Town of Carolina Beach, and the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce.

Mayor Pro Tem Dan Wilcox stated he "would like to thank, on the Town's and Boardwalk Makeover Project's behalf, the Cape Fear Garden Club for selecting our project for their grant program. This location will be a pleasing sight for thousands of visitors every year, so we're excited they selected this project. I'm looking forward to the Garden Club members visiting this site when it's complete and perhaps including it in their 2010 Garden Tour!"

The Boardwalk Makeover Project is excited to start working with the resources from this Grant and truly appreciates the opportunity awarded them from the Cape Fear Garden Club.

Thank you!
