I am fortunate to be one of twenty participants in this year’s Leadership Chapel Hill-Carrboro class. Each year, Leadership participants coordinate a fundraiser as our culminating project.
Our group is building on the great work of former cohorts to host a Casino Night on Tuesday, May 24th from 6-9 p.m. at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Carrboro.
In addition to blackjack, Texas hold’em, and roulette, we will have live music from Tea Cup Gin, and a silent auction and raffle with items from local restaurants, spas, athletics, and more. We’ll also have delicious food from Hickory Tavern, beer from Yesteryears, and wine. We hope to raise $15,000.
Members of our class lobbied passionately on behalf of deserving local organizations to receive our proceeds, and we selected the Cleft Palate Foundation, PORCH, Johnson Service Corps, Durham Tech EMS Foundation and NAMI to split the funds.
I’d like to invite everyone to attend the event on Tuesday. Advance tickets are $35 each or $60 for two and can be purchased here or on the events page of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce webpage. I hope you will consider attending our event to empower these great local nonprofits to do more for our community.
