The Old Wilmington Riverfront Celebration, Inc. the organization responsible for the Annual Wilmington Riverfest, has been established as a charitable organization to benefit the Cape Fear River environment. To that end, it is our goal to actively participate with the community to raise capital for reinvestment in the human resources necessary to research and develop river preservation methods and technology. We will strive to promote the Annual Wilmington Riverfest to successfully raise funds for donation to the Cape Fear Community College Marine Sciences Division in the form of the Riverfest Endowment fund. The endowment fund will be used to award scholarships based on academic achievement and desire to benefit the Cape Fear River and surrounding community.
