The Island News COVERING NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY

JSLB HOSTS ANNUAL FUNDRAISER Junior Service League of Beaufort ( JSLB) will host the JSLB BBQ by the Marsh on Saturday, March 5, from 6-11:30 p.m. at Beaufort Town Center on Boundary Street. Tickets to the fifth annual fundraising event are now on sale for $40 per person or $75 per couple. The ticket price includes a barbecue buffet, open bar and live music by 80s theme band Shark Rodeo. All proceeds from the JSLB BBQ by the Marsh will be distributed to local nonprofits that meet the JSLB focus of uplifting women and children in our community. JSLB’s fundraising goal is to top last year’s amount. Beaufort Memorial Hospital leads a group of four other sponsors who are dedicated to the success of the JSLB BBQ on the Marsh. Those who attend the event have the opportunity to win prizes, which include everything from rounds of golf to tooth whitening services. Jennifer Wallace, JSLB BBQ event co-chair, says, “The JSLB members really believe in this event and it’s a great way for the community to give back to local nonprofits. Not only does the barbecue raise money for great causes, but the event is always tons of fun.” Lorin Siegel, the other cochair adds, “We are grateful to all of the local businesses who are sponsoring the event and those who have donated items for the silent auction.” For more information about the fundraiser or to purchase tickets, visit www.jslbeaufort.org or call (843) 343-4318.
