The South Cumberland Community Fund and the Mountain Goat Trail Alliance have been awarded grants from the Bonnaroo Works Fund.
The Community Fund’s award of $3,500 will support the fund’s initiatives in education, cultural enrichment and community-building. “The people of the South Cumberland Plateau are creating innovative and successful programs to improve the quality of life here. The Bonnaroo Works Fund grant gives the Community Fund another way to support those programs,” said Scott Parrish, Community Fund board chair.
The MGTA’s grant of $5,000 will go toward construction of Phase II of the trail from Monteagle to Sewanee. “Bonnaroo’s emphasis on creating healthy communities fits right in with our mission to offer recreational and health benefits, as well as economic opportunity, to the area,” said Janice Thomas, board president of the MGTA.
The Bonnaroo Works Fund supports community projects and educational, arts and environmental programs. For more information go to <www.bonnaroo.com/get-involved>.
