CFCC Foundation receives donation for Wooden Boat Building program

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Southport Wooden Boat Show donated $3,000 to help fund a scholarship for students in the Wooden Boat Building program at Cape Fear Communication College, according to a news release.

Proceeds of the group’s annual boat show, now in its eighth year, funded the scholarship. Held each September at Southport’s historic Old Yacht Basin, the event showcases a variety of traditional wooden boat constructions including kayaks, iconic fishing boats, rowboats and more.

CFCC says SWBS organizers chose to fund the scholarship because it encourages the art and craft of wooden boat construction.

“We are delighted and very grateful for the continued support of Southport Wooden Boat Show,” said Wendy Littlefield, CFCC Foundation Director of Annual Giving. “Their generous gift will make an impact on many students who want to further their education and professional growth.”
