Projects & Annual Events
Princess Closet - Is charitable service organized and maintained by members for the benefit of underprivileged girls in our community. The Princess Closet is a resource that offers formal wear for girls in need so that they can attend their Prom, Winter Formal or Homecoming. These girls are so grateful that we sponsor this because otherwise they could not afford to attend these events.
I had an experience with a father who is trying to bring up his daughter by himself and just could not afford to by her a gown. The look on his face and the tears in his eyes when his daughter came out in a gown that I helped her pick out was PRICELESS...
Annual July 4th Event - The Business Women of Cherokee County in conjunction with the Cherokee County Recreation Department and The Town of Murphy sponsor an annual 4th of July extravaganza. Last years event drew an estimated 5000 people throughout the day and was such a success that we have received early interest for vendor and sponsor participation.
From foot races, greased pig contests, peanut drop, kids rides, music all day, crafters and more events than you can count - all the way to the grand finale fireworks and food food food!!!!!. People come to Murphy, NC to enjoy an old fashioned, fun-filled celebration of our country's birthday.
