Throughout the month of March, Tremont Institute was featured for Peaceful Side Social\u2019s Sip, Savor + Support program, a fundraising initiative designed by the Townsend restaurant\u2019s staff to support Blount County nonprofits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program provides an opportunity for Peaceful Side Social\u2019s customers to round up their purchase costs to the nearest dollar and donate the change to the featured nonprofit. At the end of March, these small contributions resulted in the presentation of a check for $1,500 to support Tremont\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe feel honored that the community provided so much support to Tremont over the month,\u201d said Megan Womack, development manager at Tremont. \u201cIt may not have felt like much to the individual customers, but those liale gibs added up, and now we\u2019re able to put these community funds to good use connecting people with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tremont Institute provides in-depth experiences through educational programs that celebrate ecological and cultural diversity, foster stewardship, and nurture appreciation for the outdoors.
