LAKE OF THE OZARKS — The Community Foundation of the Lake is celebrating 10 years of helping people give locally at this year's Champagne Campaign, and is recognizing Honorary Chairwoman Jane Martin, owner of Scott’s Concrete.
In announcing the honor, CFL described Martin as a woman whose dedication to community is well known throughout the Lake area. Jane and her family have always known the importance of recognizing and supporting local charities.
The community is invited to attend the Champagne Campaign beginning at 5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15, at La Roca Club in Osage Beach.
"Giving Local Makes Sense" is the theme for the 10th anniversary for the event that funds dozens of charities through Community Foundation of the Lake.
The Martin family started the Scott’s Concrete Gifting Fund through CFL a number of years ago. "The Lake of the Ozarks has supported my family for six generations!" Martin enthused "Giving back is vital to me. Community Foundation of the Lake is a wonderful conduit to direct my tax dollars and keeps our donations within the Lake area. The Martin family truly believes 'Giving Local Makes Sense.'"
Community Foundation of the Lake exists as a facilitator to streamline charitable giving locally, and members from organizations will be on hand during the evening to discuss the benefits of the CFL partnership and importance of contributing annually to local funds. Over $250,000 has gone back into the community through grants to local nonprofit 501c3 organizations since 2009.
This year’s fundraiser will feature champagne cocktail tasting, hors d’oeuvres, fun activities, cash bar, and live music.
