Asteria, Storyliving by Disney’s second community coming to Pittsboro, North Carolina, recently brought a little extra Disney magic to the celebration of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina’s 30th anniversary. Mickey Mouse and Storyliving by Disney joined local children, families and community leaders to celebrate both the Pittsboro Club’s fifth anniversary and Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina’s remarkable 30-year legacy of serving the community.
The day began with remarks from the Mayor of Pittsboro and Board Chair of the Pittsboro Boys & Girls Club, Kyle Shipp, where Storyliving presented him with a Mickey Mouse statuette. Storyliving by Disney also announced an initial investment of $30,000 to celebrate 30 years of impactful work by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina.
The donation will help fund out-of-school-time programming that promotes academic success, wellbeing and workforce development, empowering young people with the tools, experiences and support they need to build bright futures and achieve their goals.
The biggest surprise of all made the anniversary celebration extra special. Mickey Mouse joined the festivities, spending time with kids and families, dancing, taking photos and spreading Disney magic throughout the day.
“It is very exciting to have Storyliving by Disney here supporting our organization. To know they are stepping in as a partner and being here for us on our 30th anniversary of our organization is amazing,” said Dr. Fallon Brewington, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina.
The whole celebration was filled with Disney magic that brought so much joy and laughter. This event was just the beginning of many unforgettable memories that Disney and the community of Pittsboro will make together.
“Being part of a community means supporting the people and organizations that help make it special,” said Claire Bilby, SVP and GM of Storyliving by Disney. “As we look toward the future of Asteria in Pittsboro, we’re excited to build connections in the community and recognize and enhance the important work organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina has already been doing.”
While Asteria continues to take shape, Storyliving by Disney is proud to be part of the Pittsboro and greater Chatham County community. Supporting organizations that create pathways for youth to learn, grow, and succeed reflects a commitment to investing in the people who help shape the regions’ future.
