Second Annual What Matters Benefit Dinner

What Matters 2011: Bold Leadership

Triangle Community Foundation’s 2nd Annual Benefit Dinner

Presented by Wachovia, A Wells Fargo Company

WHAT

Join Triangle Community Foundation for our second annual benefit dinner focusing on an issue that matters to our region: Bold Leadership.

Featured Speakers:

Thomas Ross, President, University of North Carolina

Larry J. Wheeler, Director, North Carolina Museum of Art

Mia Hamm, Philanthropist and Soccer Icon

The Triangle has been the political, educational, and entrepreneurial epicenter of North Carolina. As a region that governs, teaches, and innovates, we have a history of acting courageously when it matters most. Today, bold leadership is again needed to move the region forward.

As we face new fiscal realities, economic development is tied more than ever to social development. Sports, arts, and education help drive both in our region. The Triangle’s champion sports teams bring international attention to our region. Statewide, the creative industry contributes more than five percent toward our economy. Increasingly we are called to align the goals of our schools with the jobs needed today and tomorrow. Bold leadership has driven change in each of these areas. It’s been passionate, persistent, and principled – and it’s needed now.

All proceeds support TCF’s community programs that help strengthen local nonprofits and address regional issues, including Triangle Gives Back, Send a Kid to Camp, the Community Grantmaking Program, and nonprofit capacity-building workshops.
