FPU DONATES TO THE FABULOUS FIFTIES FOUNDATION
Fayetteville Public Utilities’ (FPU) gives back to the community by donating $5,000 to The Fabulous Fifties Foundation. The Fabulous Fifties Foundation, a local 501c3, raises money to be dispersed to people in need in Lincoln County. The needs include victims of accidents, illnesses and hardships.
“The Fabulous Fifties Foundation greatly appreciates this wonderful donation from FPU,” said Jane Wilcox, member of The Fabulous Fifties Foundation. “A generous benefactor has offered to match up to $35,000 of funds that we raise in the month of August. This will help us reach our goal so that we can help local people in need. Anyone wishing to follow suit with FPU can mail any tax-deductible amount to P.O. Box 934, Fayetteville, TN 37334.”
According to FPU CEO/General Manager Britt Dye, “FPU holds an annual ribeye sandwich sale to raise money for local charities. We are honored to donate these funds to various charitable organizations in our local area who work every day to make a difference in our community. In addition to our day-to-day efforts to keep utilities running smoothly, we support local organizations, like The Fabulous Fifties Foundation, whose mission aligns with FPU’s genuine concern for our community and our commitment to help it thrive.”
