Thank you to all who participated and helped us win!! So many children will get the supplies needed for school this year!
We are absolutely blown away, amazed, and honestly a little speechless…
✏️ 2,550 COMBINED SCHOOL SUPPLIES WERE DONATED!✏️
Both communities showed up BIG, and thanks to your incredible generosity, we will be able to provide school supplies to MANY local schools, helping ensure that no child starts the school year without the supplies they need. ❤️
And now… the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
🏆 THE WINNERS OF THE SCHOOL SUPPLY BATTLE ARE... WESTERN CARTERET FIRE & EMS + CAPE CARTERET POLICE DEPARTMENT!
Chief Bowden… we hope you’re ready because we cannot WAIT to see you proudly rocking that secret costume tomorrow! 😂👀
Thank you to every family, business, department member, and community member who donated, shared, encouraged, and helped make this drive such an incredible success. YOU ARE AMAZING! Every community should be PROUD of what you have done!
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter who won the battle…
❤️THE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITIES WON and THAT is a victory worth celebrating!
Special thanks to Stabby Gabby Piercings, Bound & Brewed and VFW Post 9960 Cedar Point NC for collection donations at your locations!!!!!
