Just as residents of the Plateau visit the Center for a variety of reasons, so each of Peggy’s Heroes has a different motivation for supporting the fundraising campaign. Let’s explore some of their reasons for supporting the PCC.
“The Peggy Crosby Center provides excellent facilities at below-market rents in support of non-profits and entrepreneurs. I support the Center because small businesses and non-profits are critical to the Highlands community,” says businessman Earle Mauldin, a seasonal Highlands resident.
“The Hack Foundation has supported the Peggy Crosby Center since 2004, particularly to help with renovations and to maintain the below-market rents. PCC provides a valuable service to area nonprofits by providing attractive, convenient, and affordable space for offices, programs, and meetings. The Literacy Council, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, the Counseling Center, and others could not provide free services to the plateau without the facilities provided by PCC.” — The Hack Foundation, Inc., a local private charitable foundation.
“Because my offices are in the Peggy Crosby Center, I can afford to offer sliding scale fee services while maintaining an adult office, as well as a fully-equipped therapy play room for the children of our community.” — Anne L. Koenig , Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist..
“As a dedicated resource available for the housing of community-oriented organizations, the Peggy Crosby facility stands alone. The administration of the Center has been outstanding – making enhancements that have enabled its non-profits to reach out to others with dignity, caring and professionalism.” — Lindy Colson-Harrison, Co-Chair of Cullasaja Women’s Outreach 2018 Grants Committee. The CWO has funded grants to PCC for many years.
