This inaugural fall fundraiser will bring together a celebration of heritage, community, local producers, and deep kinship. The event will showcase local talents through upscale, down-home cuisine, cocktails, a silent auction and live entertainment by a multicultural band from Cherokee, Sugah & Thuh Cubes.

Today, the Pigeon Center is used much as it once was — with significance on educational programming like afterschool tutoring and summer enrichment programs for local students.

The mission of the PCMDC is to strengthen harmony among the residents of the county and its communities. To achieve this, PCMDC helps re-establish the long-standing tradition of the community as a family and fosters intentional inclusiveness to create a holistic quality of life.
