Charleston County Parks Foundation to Host Evening at McLeod with Philip Lima
The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission’s (CCPRC) nonprofit partner, the Charleston County Parks Foundation, will host an Evening at McLeod on September 30th. This fundraising event, held at McLeod Plantation Historic Site, benefits the foundation’s Cultural History Fund.
From 5:30 pm to 8 pm, Evening at McLeod will feature drinks, light hors d’oeuvres, and a performance from the Charleston Symphony and nationally renowned baritone Philip Lima (above). Lima has regularly garnered critical acclaim for his performances on both concert and operatic stages.
Proceeds from Evening at McLeod will benefit the Charleston County Parks Foundation’s Cultural History Fund. This fund aids cultural and historical research, preservation, interpretation, and education for diverse audiences with an emphasis on underrepresented histories at McLeod Plantation Historic Site and throughout the Charleston County Parks. The fund is currently focusing on cultural and historical education opportunities that foster a more equitable society, by expressing a unified narrative of African American history, culture, heritage and art at McLeod. Examples include the Poetry at McLeod series as well as efforts to preserve the site’s Sankofa Memorial Garden.
Tickets are $75 per person and include drinks and food. Purchase tickets online here: https://crm.bloomerang.co/HostedDonation?ApiKey=pub_ebff67f4-e91f-11ed-9416-020e5d69cac3&WidgetId=5067776.
