23/May/2018 – Carolina Children’s Charity Dinner

The Carolina Children’s Charity provided dinner for Colleton County Firefighters for reaching the second highest collections this year. Shannon Wilson and Marci-jo Mishoe with the Charity supplied and prepared the meal. They brought it to Station # 19. Two families who are recipients of the Charity also attended the dinner to personally thank firefighters for their efforts collecting the funds.  Colleton Firefighters collected funds at several local businesses in March and conducted a Softball tournament with other area fire departments. Colleton residents donated over $12,000 total to aid sick children in Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester Counties. Ainsley, who is wheel chair bound, suffers from a rare neurological disorder. The Charity has assisted her family and constructed a wheel chair ramp to aid her in entering and exiting her home. 2 year old Levi was also on hand to say thanks. His family is formerly of Round O and was also a recipient of Charity funds. Levi has made a full recovery from his illness thanks in part to people making donations to CCC.
