Reserve Charitable Foundation donates $150K to Pickens-area charitable organizations
Giving back to the community is one of our core pillars at The Reserve at Lake Keowee. That was evidenced on the night of December 5, 2017, at Founders Hall, as the Charitable Foundation donated $150,000 to the following local charities:
- Helping Hands Children Shelter
- Feed a Hungry Child
- Pickens County Meals on Wheels
- Pickens Senior Center
- Ripple of One
- Safe Harbor
- Samaritan’s Health
- Family Promise
“We are thrilled to be able to contribute such a large sum to these outstanding organizations in Pickens County,” says Cathy Washburn, Executive Director of The Reserve at Lake Keowee’s Community and Charitable Foundation. “The positive impact will be immediate as this contribution will go directly to these worthy charities so that they can continue to serve those in need.”
Three fundraising events throughout the year make this $150,000 gift possible: The Reserve at Lake Keowee’s 2017 Charity Golf Classic and Auction, the community’s Garden Club Home Tour, and Swine and Dine Dinner & Auction.
These events are made possible through hundreds of volunteer hours, sponsorship, and donations from local businesses and individuals.
