Wilmington Tournament Results and Upcoming Tournaments
First, some good news (but there’s always good news, right?) We were awarded a micro-grant from the Hometown Revitalization Small Business Grant Program from Cool Spring Downtown District, in partnership with Duke Energy. What will be using the grant for this time, just wait and see!
