The Sewanee Community Chest Fund Drive announces the beginning of the 2015–16 fund-raising campaign. This year’s goal is $100,000, which will provide aid to 25 community organizations. Sponsored by the Sewanee Civic Association, the Sewanee Community Chest raises funds for local organizations that serve the common good.
Long-time community members Elizabeth and Rick Duncan have agreed to be the Sewanee Community Chest stewards and help lead the fund-raising efforts.
The money raised in the community will go directly to organizations that support the following: Beyond Sewanee $7,000; Children $35,300; Community Aid $21,850, and Quality of Life $35,850. This year’s recipients include Housing Sewanee, the Community Action Committee, the Sewanee Elementary Parent Organization, the Mountain Goat Trail, Volunteers in Medicine, and Folks at Home.
The power of the people helping people makes a difference. The Sewanee Civic Association encourages everyone who benefits from life in this community, whether you live, work, or visit, to give to the Community Chest. The Sewanee Community Chest is a 501(c)(3) organization, and donations are tax deductible. Donations and pledges are accepted at any time at PO Box 99, Sewanee, TN 37375. There are two online options to donate to the Sewanee Community Chest through PayPal and AmazonSmile.
