SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Georgetown County Women's Hall of Fame Luncheon SOLD OUT!
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! Join us for a special 10th anniversary program honoring the contributions of women to Georgetown County. The 2021 honoree is Georgetown County philanthropist Frances Peace Bunnelle.\n\n\n\nGuest speakers include:\n\n	Jim Dumm\, Retired Executive Director\, Tara Hall Home for Boys and Chairman of the Georgetown County School Board\n	Doug Eggiman\, Fire Chief\, Midway Fire Department\n	Brenda Stroup\, Retired Executive Director of Tidelands Hospice\n	Geales G. Sands\, Executive Director\, Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation\n\n  Mrs. Bunnelle is best known as the creator of the Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation\, which she established just before her death in 2000 to support charitable causes that serve the area she chose to make her home in   Georgetown County. Upon her death\, her trustees adopted her mission and put a hefty bequest from Bunnelle to work. The Foundation has now contributed more than $26 million toward improving the quality of life for area residents through grants made to charitable organizations and causes. One such cause she championed was the Saint Frances Animal Center\, which was named in her honor for her support. Throughout her lifetime\, she also was a regular supporter of the Pawleys Island-Litchfield Rescue Squad\, Tara Hall Home for Boys and Tidelands Community Hospice\, among other organizations.\n\n\n\n"Frances Bunnelle was a firm believer that people should care for one another according to their means\," said Geales Sands\, executive director of the Bunnelle Foundation.\n\n\n\nThanks to an inheritance from her first husband\, Charlie Peace\, whose family owned the Greenville News-Piedmont Co.\, Bunnelle's means were quite significant. After Peace's death in 1958\, the widow received stock in the newspaper\, which became a media conglomerate when it was sold in 1995. She later married Robert Bunnelle\, who died in 1988.\n\n\n\nDuring her life\, Bunnelle went about her good works discreetly\, quietly giving assistance to the disenfranchised and disadvantaged\, because she believed in the importance of community\, Sands said.\n\n\n\nSands will be among a panel of special guests who will discuss Bunnelle during the induction luncheon. Also serving on the panel will be Jim Dumm\, executive director of Tara Hall Home for Boys and Chairman of the Georgetown County School Board\; Doug Eggiman\, Chief of Midway Fire-Rescue (formerly the Pawleys Island-Litchfield Rescue Squad)\; and Brenda Stroup\, retired executive director of Tidelands Hospice.\n\n\n\nMrs. Bunnelle kept the spotlight on the causes rather than her as the donor. "Our panel will shed some more light on who Frances Bunnelle was\, as well as delving into how greatly she has impacted our community\," Stedman said. "I really hope members of the community will take the opportunity to attend the induction luncheon and learn more about this great woman\, who continues to give to Georgetown County 20 years after her death."
