“It’s all about strengthening those local leaders on the ground, those local partners, not only funding them but helping them with their management skills, with their technical skills, with their financial skills to grow and lead their organizations so they can support the local community.“

Two of our years-long supporters and friends in the Raleigh community shared their passion with My Carolina and their viewers this week. We’re grateful for supporters like Doug Suriano and Scott Morris, who have always led the charge to support Blood:Water and our mission.

Scott and Doug visited with Amber Freeman and Carly Bragg on the set of My Carolina to discuss their current fundraising efforts for Blood:Water to sponsor the next round of grants for our organizational strengthening programs.

The community has so far raised $300k for our programs and mission and we’re thankful to Doug and Scott for spearheading efforts to raise another $150k from the Raleigh community for this grant cycle.

Thanks to our friends at My Carolina! The full episode is here. @mycarolinacbs17/
