It was a year of thoughtful philanthropists, unprecedented growth and new beginnings. It is often said that Burke County is a truly special community – not because of its mountains, its picturesque towns or its state-of-the-art facilities. Our greatest attribute is our people. We insist upon caring for one another – black and white, rich and poor, native-speaking and foreign- tongued, people with and without disabilities. Some people share a meal. Others offer clothing or housing. Others give a hug or lend an ear. These numbers are noteworthy and certainly worth mentioning, but, most importantly, they represent improvements in the quality of life in In this spirit of giving, some choose to use the Community Foundation to our community. They mean a better life for our neighbors. That is reason care for those causes and people closest to their hearts. Please read to celebrate. about Dr. Jean Ervin, a fascinating Burke Countian who took the time to insure that her favorite causes were cared for beyond her life.
