Community Foundation of the Virginias to hold Annual Dinner

BLUEFIELD, WV (WVNS) — The Community Foundation of the Virginias’ Annual Dinner is coming up.

The dinner is held each year in order to get more donations for the Foundations’ various endowments, scholarships, and programs.

Julie Johnson, President of the Foundation, and Gene Bailey, Vice President, said everyone who attends is always in for a great time.

“It is our annual fundraiser, and it is our outreach to appreciate our donors, highlight our community, and also talk about our agencies, endowments, and our scholarships,” said Johnson.

“Jim Miller and his message, he may speak a little bit about the Foundation work he did for Charlottesville at the University of Virginia, but he’s also gonna do a little magic for us since he is a professional magician,” said Bailey.

Bailey said Miller will also talk about his basketball career and his financial company as well.

Johnson said the dinner is a great way to show their community how much the Foundation appreciates everything they’ve done for them throughout the year.

The dinner will be held on October 9th at the Karen Preservati Center in Princeton.
