Bourbon County Core Community exists to help with solving poverty in Bourbon County.
“We are a donor-supported 501(c)3 organization that offers an effective, data-backed program that walks people who are struggling in poverty through a 22-week course that helps them learn the mindset of poverty, the mindset of middle-class, and the steps it takes for them to move from one to the other,” said Deana Betts, the community liaison for the organization.
Bourbon County Core Community is hosting a fundraising event called Reza Live! on February 8th at 7 p.m. at the Ellis Fine Arts Center on the campus of Fort Scott Community College.
About REZA
“More than a magic show, Reza infuses stage of the art production elements, masterful comedic timing, and numerous interactive & inspirational moments, allowing the audience to experience the magic first hand, according to a press release fron Core Community. Perhaps Reza’s greatest secret is his uncanny ability to communicate his performance art on such a personal level.”
Tickets are on sale now and available at rezalive.com.
“All proceeds will be used to fund our efforts to help people of Bourbon County move out of poverty,” Betts said.
About the program
“We meet every Tuesday night, begin with a donor-provided meal, and eat together as families. The children then move onto their programming while the adults work through class content, set goals met with their Core Friends (volunteers from the middle-class who help them and encourage them), etc.” she said.
Volunteers with Core Community provide meals, childcare, speak on specific topics, and be Core Friends.
