The I Love Ferguson Committee presented a check for $50,000 to Rebecca Zoll, President and CEO of North County, Inc. Regional Development Association. The money will go to the Reinvest North County Fund for businesses and schools impacted by the unrest in the greater Ferguson community.

Committee chairman Brian Fletcher presented the check to Zoll on Dec. 23 at the I Love Ferguson Store.

“After the grand jury decision, the destruction in Ferguson and our neighboring towns was unbelievable,” said Fletcher, a former mayor of Ferguson. “But thanks to the generosity of people in our town, across the country and even in foreign countries, we can give back to the locally-owned businesses that have been struggling so much.”

Fletcher says sales of I Love Ferguson merchandise, coupled with fundraiser auctions and new projects in the works (including a calendar and children’s book) have boosted the committee’s profile and helped to raise awareness of the need of small businesses in the Ferguson region.
