FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 5, 2019
2019 is Charlotte's 250th anniversary (CLT250) and an opportunity for Charlotte to recognize our past, understand our present and imagine our future, together. For SHARE Charlotte, imaging our future means supporting our local nonprofits, who play a significant role in strengthening our city. So we invited our nonprofit partners to tell us how our community - local businesses, corporations, foundations, groups and individuals, can support their vision for CLT250.
