“Keep Moore County Beautiful encourages beauty, recycling and a litter-free County” stated Alice Hess, Chairman of the Keep Moore County Beautiful Committee. “Through the funding raised at this tournament KMCB is able to offer anti-litter and recycling campaigns at county-wide events, environmental education to students, plants including daffodil bulbs to all schools to enhance their campuses and beautification awards to business and public areas throughout Moore County.”

Several projects are credited to KMCB’s leadership including facilitating mixed paper recycling events, spring and all litter clean-ups, telephone book recycling contest and the annual Christmas Tree Recycling event to name a few. Each of these projects involves strong support of the KMCB Board of Directors and also the financial resources from the community resulting in success of each project implemented throughout the calendar year.
