Proceeds Benefit — Bella’s Backpacks
Bella’s Backpacks, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, will receive a portion of the fundraiser proceeds. They have donated over 1,800 backpacks to children who seek help at the Dove House, Safelight, Dragonfly House, Safe Spot, and other Child Advocacy Centers across North Carolina.
Their mission is to bring hope to these children and spread awareness of child abuse and neglect — to eradicate it someday. Contact: 980-635-8008
