Lenoir/Greene United Way to host Annual Celebration
Kinston, N.C. – The “Set Sail With Us” nautical party celebrating Lenoir/Greene United Way takes place on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 at Kinston Country Club. A full evening is planned with the presentation of the 2023 Lighthouse Award, live music by “Liquid Pleasure” and a silent auction featuring custom art by local artist, Seraphim Smith. Two special door prizes gifted by Belk of Kinston and Flourish Marketing will also be given to a lucky attendee! The evening kicks off at 6:00 p.m. with cocktails, 6:30 p.m. remarks and presentation followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m. and live music.
The Lenoir/Greene United Way “Set Sail With Us” is a celebration of Schechter Leadership Donors who graciously support our United Way and the 14 nonprofit organizations Lenoir/Greene United Way funds. This event is also a celebration of new growth – new friendships and new possibilities for our community! The Lighthouse Award recognizes an outstanding legacy donor who has contributed greatly to Lenoir/Greene United Way. The first recipient in 2021 was the late Pearl Schechter, a true servant leader and in 2022, P.C. Barwick was honored for his tremendous contributions. The 2023 Lighthouse Award is presented by Lenoir Community College.
Tickets are $50/person for this special event. Attendees are encouraged to wear their best “summer chic” and dress in the nautical theme with colors navy, white or aqua. Limited tickets remain so RSVP quickly! Tickets are available by Venmo @LenoirGreene-UnitedWay. You can also purchase and RSVP to Laura Monroe at (252) 527-0734 or email assistant@lenoircouw.org.
