15 years of partnership and impact in CHarlotte-register to attend
To celebrate we are throwing a huge anniversary party. It’s not a gala. It’s not professional development. There is no keynote. There is no auction. This event is about celebrating the people who have shown us what is possible for our students in Charlotte over the past 15 years. So get ready for an evening of inspiration and celebration, featuring innovative art, local music, and a community-focused dinner. Our 15th Anniversary Celebration will be at Camp North End on March 27th, 2020 from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Register and purchase tickets here. Hurry as they are selling out quickly.
