| St. Pat’s in Five Points Contributes $60,000 to Local Charities |
|
Each year, local non-profit organizations provide volunteers who contribute man hours to make St. Pat’s in Five Points possible. The success of the 2011 festival made it possible to donate $60,000 to these wonderful local charities. “Without these volunteers St. Pat’s in Five Points would not be successful,” said Merritt McHaffie, Five Points Association Executive Director. “They provide us an invaluable service and donating part of the festival’s revenue is our way of saying thank-you. Local non-profits are an integral part of Columbia and we enjoy being able to support them financially, particularly during these difficult economic times.” The success of St. Pat’s in Five Points has allowed for nearly $2 million to benefit local charities over the celebrations 29-year history.
