Duke Energy gives grant to Masonboro.org

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Duke Energy Foundation presented a $35,000 check Monday morning to the Masonboro.org.

The money will go toward the Island Explorer program which gives New Hanover County 5th graders a free opportunity to visit Masonboro Island.

The organization plans to send even more students through the Spring.

Shortly after the presentation, Wrightsboro Elementary fifth graders boarded a boat to the island for an educational field trip.
