Evening of Remembrance
September 25, 2022
4:00 pm
Join the CSO for a special fundraiser to support our partners at Charleston County Parks.
Evening of Remembrance: Leia’s Story is a fundraiser in support of the Charleston County Parks Foundation’s Cultural History Fund. Leia was purchased by the McLeods in 1856. She lived her entire life at McLeod Plantation, but her story of resilience has become known worldwide. This precious little girl, who came to McLeod Plantation alone, would leave a legacy of nearly 100 descendants. You won’t forget Leia’s story!
Tickets: $75 per person. Ticket includes drinks, hors d’oeuvres prepared by Chef BJ Dennis, and a performance by a brass quintet from the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, featuring the Mt. Zion Singers.
Menu: Hoppin’ John, Chicken Country Captain, okra soup, cornbread, and Charleston Chewies. Beer, wine, tea and punch will be available.
