HIGH POINT, N.C. — The community has come out in a big way to support the United Way of Greater High Point’s new emergency fund benefitting people hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.
Due to the Governor’s state of the Emergency response to COVID-19 and in effort to support the health and wellness of those in our High Point community, The Foundation for a Healthy High Point is postponing its Annual Grantee Luncheon scheduled for March 19.
Our Board and staff are deeply disappointed, but believe that postponing this event is in the best interest for our community during this unprecedented time. The Foundation will notify you when the Annual Luncheon is rescheduled and looks forward to celebrating our community together at that time.
In addition, for the near term the Foundation will seek to conduct future meetings virtually in effort to reduce risk. Community partners will be notified of alternate plans for future meetings and convening events to ensure that collaboration will continue.
