About
ACTIVITIES GENERALLY, THE FOUNDATION USED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PLAYERS, COACHES, AND MANAGEMENT OF THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS NBA TEAM AS A PLATFORM TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF LITERACY, EDUCATION, HEALTH AND FITNESS, MILITARY CARE AND HUNGER. THE FOUNDATION HOSTED THE MY HERO GALA TO RAISE MONEY FOR TWO CAUSES. HALF OF THE NET PROCEEDS FROM THE EVENT WENT TO SUPPORT THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS FOUNDATION WHILE THE OTHER HALF OF THE NET PROCEEDS WENT TO SUPPORT THE NOVANT HEALTH FOUNDATION'S COMMUNITY CARE CRUISER. THE COMMUNITY CARE CRUISER IS A 40-FOOT MOBILE CLINIC THAT PROVIDES IMMUNIZATIONS AND OTHER CLINICAL MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED CHILDREN IN THE GREATER CHARLOTTE AREA. GRANT MAKING GRANT MAKING WAS THE FOUNDATION'S WAY OF DEMONSTRATING AND DISPLAYING THE FOUNDATION'S COMMITMENT TO THE PRIORITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION AND COMMUNITY IT SERVES. THE FOUNDATION USES ITS COMMUNITY CONTACTS TO IDENTIFY PROGRAMS THAT HAVE THE LARGEST IMPACT TO THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION. GRANTS TO CHILD CARE RESOURCES INC., CROSSROADS CORPORATION, FREEDOM SCHOOL PARTNERS AND THE CHARLOTTE MECKLENBURG LIBRARY FOUNDATION ACCOMPLISHED THAT OBJECTIVE. EDUCATION Education is a priority area for the foundation. Promotional campaigns such as billboards, in-arena public services announcements, as well as community public services announcements, posters, and informational literature were developed using players and coaches of the Charlotte Hornets, as well as community leaders as spokespersons to raise community awareness about literacy.
