The annual gala is Landfall Foundation’s largest fundraiser and raises almost 70% of the foundations revenue. The Landfall Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps organizations in the Wilmington area, which include arts, education, health, and welfare. In 2016 the Foundation contributed $351,500 to the local community. Additionally, another $15,000 was awarded to Landfall employees to help them further their education goals. In the past 21 years $3.75 million dollars has been raised by the Landfall Foundation.
Wilmington has been ranked a one of the top cities for clean air. Only 6 cities received the highest rating in the study conducted by the American Lung Association.
Wilmington had zero days with ozone and high particle pollution between 2013 and 2015. The whole of Eastern North Carolina has proven to be a healthy place to live, with low air pollution levels. Greenville, Morehead City, and New Bern did not have any days with levels reaching the dangerous air pollution level.
North Carolina has been working on increasing air quality since 1970, when the Clean Air Act was passed. Since then there have been amendments to the original bill as well as the Clean Smokestacks Act, which has cut the state’s emissions from 245,000 tons to 56,000 tons in just 11 years.
The healthy air quality translates to healthy people. There are less asthma attacks, respiratory issues, and decreased heart issues.
