“The inaugural meeting of tbf was held on friday, august 23, 2019 to officially name the board of directors, elect officers, name an executive director and adopt bylaws for incorporation in the state of south carolina. Together with the employees of york electric cooperative, the board of directors and executive director will work to raise money from our community and surrounding areas so that we are able to provide charitable contributions to those who need it most within york electrics service territory. Help could come in the form of a bike for a child or helping hands and materials to repair a leaking roof. The most important goal with each donation is to remain true to what is best for the people and families in our communities. As described in the bylaws of the burrell foundation on page 3, section 3.1, at least one member of the burrell foundations board of directors will be a member of york electric cooperatives board of trustees, at least three members of the burrell foundations board of directors will be employees of york electric cooperative, and one member of the burrell foundations board of directors will be an at large member, not affiliated with york electric.

“Community members will be allowed to contribute to the burrell foundation through our website. We will also use the website to publicize the burrell foundations mission and ways we have helped our community. We will host charitable events including silent auctions, golf tournaments, and galas to raise money for the foundation.”
