Ocean Isle Beach Blog - Fund Raiser At The Ocean Isle Inn

Raising the Roof for Habitat

Sat, 16 May 2009 15:06:00 -0400

For the third year in a row, we here at the Ocean Isle Inn are working together with our parent company Sloane Realty to raise money for Habitat for Humanity here in Brunswick County.

Last year, a contribution of $20,000 was made to the local chapter of Habitat and we want to exceed that this year.

As you may know, the goal of Habitat for Humanity is to help provide families with a safe, decent place to live. Through contributions of money, materials and labor, homes that were once a dream are now a reality. The owners of the home participate in the construction of the home by providing their “sweat equity”.

Once the families become residents of their new home, payments are made based on their individual financial circumstances.

To help meet and exceed the donations we received in 2008, this year Sloane Realty is sponsoring a golf tournament on June 13. All participants will automatically be entered in a raffle with seven vacation prizes to be awarded. One of the prizes is a one week stay in an apartment in Athens, Greece! For more information, please go to this site: http://www.SLOANEROOFRAISER.com.

For the guests of the Ocean Isle Inn, donations can be made either at check-in or for those guests who choose to make online reservations, a donation can be made then. Contributions of any amount are welcome and go to a very worthy cause.

The weekend of April 24th, BMW OBX Cruz for the Cure rallied for an auction to benefit the research at Duke University for Parkinson's Disease. This was one of the many BMW cars that filled the parking lot of The Ocean Isle Inn of Ocean Isle Beach, coastal NC. Photo taken by Maria M, one of the staff members for the INN.

The Ocean Isle Inn is proud to be the host of the 2009 OBX Cruz for The Cure. This Is the North Carolina's 6th-Annual Obx Cruz for the Cure.The main focus will be the silent auction on Friday which anyone can attend. The Fundraiser will benefit The Parkinsons Disease Research Center at Duke University.

Saturday morning will bring a new adventure. For the first time, the “Ocean Isle Eagle Eye Rally and Poker Run” will be held with many turns, tricks and scavenger hunt. Prizes will be awarded for several different finishes. I mean good prizes too. At 2pm we will have the “Four Knights” band from Wilmington out by the pool. This group is fantastic, especially if you like beach music. Our afternoon will be dancing, and fun fellowship by the pool & beach with dinner catered on the beach.
