“We are proud to work with great organizations helping Lower Cape Fear River communities thrive,” said Louis Bacon, founder and chairman of The Moore Charitable Foundation and its affiliates, including The Orton Foundation.  “Our partners are addressing pressing human and environmental challenges, and we are honored to support them.”
