SO many GOOD things Happening in Downtown Mooresville and that's why the Mooresville Downtown Commission (MDC) proudly announces a donation in the amount of $4,500.00 to local non-profit FeedNC, a food-focused resource that seeks to end the cycle of hunger and poverty with extensive programs and opportunities for those in need. The contribution was made possible from proceeds generated from this past springโs Shamrocks & Shenanigans: A Downtown Mooresville St. Patrickโs Day Festival & Bar Crawl. The $4,500.00 donation is the largest MDC charitable contribution for a first-time event.
The event debuted on March 19, 2022, and sold out all 400 but hundreds more were on hand to enjoy the festive St. Patrickโs themed performances that included Irish Dancers, Mooresville Fire-Rescue Pipe and Drum Band, and performances by Acrofitness.
โFeedNC is extremely thankful for both the community support and generous financial gift from Mooresville Downtown Commission via their first ever St. Patrickโs Day Shamrocks and Shenanigans event! This event raised $4,500 that will be used to feed and educate our community. We are so appreciative of this support and how many people it will allow to eliminate hunger for their children,โ said FeedNC Executive Director Lara Ingram.
The MDC would also like to thank the many business owners and volunteers who worked to plan, organize and implement this event, it wouldn't have happened without you! With a goal to give back; these volunteers selected FeedNC as the recipient of proceeds in the very early stages of planning the event.
