Cape Fear Italian Festival gives $3K to BCC scholarship fund

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Continuing its goal of creating a truly community-driven event, the Cape Fear Italian Festival will donate $3,000 to Brunswick Community College’s scholarship fund Tuesday. Please join us as the Cape Fear Italian Festival’s executive committee presents the money to BCC President Dr. Stephen Greiner and BCC Foundation Director Mike Capaccio Tuesday, October 27, at 1:30 p.m. in the Building A Courtyard at Brunswick Community College’s campus in Bolivia.

 

An estimated 5,000 people attended the two-day festival last month in Leland, despite a rain-shortened day one. Their support of the festival, as well as the support of sponsors and vendors, meant the first-ever Cape Fear Italian Festival was a resounding success able not only to overcome the obstacles and costs of this inaugural event, but have enough money left over to give back to the community in the form of this scholarship.

 

The Cape Fear Italian Festival, Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation founded in spring 2009 to create a unique cultural experience in northern Brunswick County with the end goal of supporting education through a scholarship fund.
