Get involved and help to improve your community!

There are numerous ways to help downtown.  We can all benefit from a thriving downtown area.  Increased visibility of local businesses will help money to stay in our local economy.  Increased restaurant and retail offerings will provide convenience and fun.  Open spaces and parks will help us to all be more active.  An improved farmers' market will help us all to be more healthy.  Downtown belongs to all of us - residents of Fuquay-Varina and the surrounding communities, neighboring towns, and the greater region, all of which can derive enjoyment from our beautiful downtown and its offerings. 

If you are a local individual or family, please consider making a basket to donate to the event.  If you are unable to make an auction basket, consider donating an item or a small amount of money that can be pooled with others to purchase a larger item for the auction.  For more information on donating money for auction items please click here

If you are a member of a community or church group, please consider asking your fellow members to come together and create an auction basket or purchase a unique item to be auctioned off.  Purchasing items from local merchants has the added benefit of helping the local economy while also contributing to the fundraising event.  One local supper club used this idea and pooled their money to purchase a Southern Tides YETI cooler to donate to the event.  For more information on donating items to the auction please click here
