Our Fundraising Goal
Our collective goal is to raise $120,000 to support the programming, youth engagement, and community initiatives of our beneficiary partners. Every contribution, large or small, moves us closer to that goal and amplifies our ability to serve those who need it most.
Your support directly helps:

● Empower youth through access to technology, mentorship, and creative learning programs
● Provide meals and essentials to families experiencing food insecurity
● Strengthen local organizations building brighter futures for our community
Your sponsorship investment will support civic involvement, increased community visibility and directly benefit organizations committed to education, health and wellness, families and mental health within the community. The impact of $125 provides essential school supplies and educational materials for children in Families Forward Charlotte Program. $250 supports a family in attending financial literacy workshops to build long term economic stability.
