Eastern Fuels Of Belhaven Fundraiser Helps Raise Awareness, Finances For Area Organization
Belhaven, NC (PRWEB) October 14, 2004
The Carolinas Chapter of the ALSA received a generous contribution thanks in part to the exceptional cooking of the folks at Eastern Fuels of Belhaven. A number of employees donated their time and efforts into what they considered to be a cause thatÂs especially close to the hearts of many people in eastern N.C.
Eastern Fuels of Belhaven raised over $ 900 for The Jim ÂCatfish Hunter Chapter while providing an increased awareness among the community regarding the affliction more commonly known as Lou GehrigÂs disease.
The event was held at the Eastern Fuels office located on Hwy 264 Bypass in Belhaven. Employees Diana Paul, Kevin Webster, Thomas Harris, Jimmy Mims, Melissa Grant and Kristen Gibbs were all on hand to lend their cooking expertise and help prepare barbequed chicken plates for all of the generous supporters who came out to help contribute to the Chapter.
An estimated 200 plates were sold according to Melissa Grant, Eastern Fuels Plant Manager for the Belhaven and Plymouth locations. ÂWe succeeded in meeting our goals of helping the community while spreading awareness for this great organization. Our entire team at Eastern Fuels was committed to working together, and we received an incredible amount of support from the community.Â
