Sunday Funday at The Pointe at Barclay benefits local charity

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Pointe at Barclay hosted its Sunday Funday grand opening event Sunday afternoon. The event will benefit The Eastern Carolinas Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The event featured live music, specialty food and drinks from local restaurants., carnival games and giveaways.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the MDA. Melissa Sinclair is the Executive Director of the MDA.

Sinclair says the event is a great way to spread local awareness.

“I think people feel more compelled and more willing to help out folks when they know that it’s staying here. Especially in light of some of the complications that we’ve had from the recent storm,” said Sinclair. “I think that folks really pride themselves on knowing that their dollars and their support are staying local.”

Sinclair says the money will go to local MDA services like healthcare, medical equipment and summer camps.

The Pointe plans on holding future events, including a 5k coming up in December. Information about The Pointe can be found on their Facebook page, The Pointe at Barclay.
