Today Gift of Hope announced their annual fundraiser, Celebrate A1merica, will be canceled for 2009. Celebrate America was to be held at Shad1ow Rock Park on July 25, but due to the high water levels planning was becoming very difficult. Currently there is very little room left for parking, attendees and the fireworks display.\u00a0 \u201cWe will not sacrifice the quality of the event and currently the water levels are leaving less and less space to allow us to operate as planned,\u201d<\/p>\n
Anthony Collier, President of the Board of Directors, stated. \u201cWe are disappointed that we have to cancel such an enjoyable event, but feel it is in the best interest of Gift of Hope and the Forsyth community.\u201d\u00a0 Even with the cancellation of a fundraising event, Gift of Hope must be able to continue its efforts to assist those in the community. Mr. and Mrs. Collier will be making a personal donation to Gift of Hope to try to compensate for the loss of funds that Celebrate America would have created for the charity, and hopes that other residents of Taney County will be generous in their support as well.<\/p>\n
The next scheduled fundraising event for Gift of Hope is their annual Bowl-A-Thon, which will take place in October.\u00a0 For more information about Gift of Hope and their upcoming events, please visit www.giftofhopeinc.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
