“We are devoted to giving back to the communities we call home by supporting local organizations. With our ongoing charitable initiatives in the Lake of the Ozarks we are partnering with the community to help strengthen public safety, education, children's services, and support for veterans,” Pearson said in a press release.
Pearson also said Osage Nation will be more present in the area over the next couple of months.
This includes a nationally-recognized ballet July 12-13! The beautiful - and free - production is an artistic expression of the Osage people, Pearson said.
Wahzhazhe: An Osage Ballet will have two performances at the School of the Osage in the Cummings Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. both nights. While the event is open to the public, donations are welcome to support Wonderland Camp.
