Ada Jenkins Center “Music for Good” a Success

The last chords have been played at the Ada Jenkins Center’s Music for Good event, held Tuesday, October 5 at Boatyard Lake Norman. Presented by headlining sponsors the Davidson Village Inn and the Vine Society, the event drew a crowd of 150 people and raised more than $16,000 for the Ada Jenkins Center.

“We truly appreciate everyone who made the music happen,” says Ada Jenkins Center CEO Harold Rice. “They had a great time, met friends old and new, danced throughout the evening — and most importantly, helped support vulnerable Lake Norman neighbors who still are recovering within the COVID economy.”

The event featured musicians from the band Mo’ Money, comedian Andy Forrester, and headlining band Southside Station. Raffle prizes included an in-home culinary experience provided by Chef Steve Jordan of On the Nines Bistro, tickets and gear to wear to the Carolina Panthers’ home game vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a Grandfather Mountain weekend getaway.

Additional sponsors included Hyde Park Storage Suites, Trane Technologies, Beth and  John Quinn, Donna Turner and Ed Kowalski, Aquesta Bank, Carolina Oral & Facial Surgery, Allyson and Brian O’Regan, Ace Hardware (Cornelius), C. DeWitt Foard & Company, Marcy and Greg Murphy, TDS Telecom, and Veritas Property Holdings.
