Why it matters
Where the money goes
In 2024, 425 guests and 37 community sponsors raised $71,000. That money funds health and dental care for adults who are uninsured, most of them right here in Craven, Jones, and Pamlico counties.
Seats are limited.
Every ticket funds care for an uninsured neighbor.
