Evening To Ignite 2025: Top Moments From A Night In The Tropicana

By Lindsey Simmons • May 13, 2025
In partnership with Band Together and La Fête Planning & Design our annual fundraising event, An Evening To Ignite , was a night to remember! Hundreds of individuals came together in support of our 2025 charity partner, Ripe For Revival , a local non-profit dedicated to combat food insecurity by providing accessible, nutritious food using Mobile Markets. They believe in building communities by utilizing large buses and trailers that are transformed into a pay-what-you-can system to provide access to fresh and local foods to areas that are considered "food deserts." What started as an idea and a dream in 2017 to bring together community members and events industry vendors to make a large-scale impact for one local, grassroots nonprofit has become a reality and grown into an annual event that raises over $150,000 each year! With the amazing support of our sponsors, vendors and local community, we are so proud to announce that $258,610.02 was raised for Ripe For Revival ! Every single dollar that was raised will help bring fresh and affordable food to the Triangle!
