We just wrapped up An Evening To Ignite and we are so excited to share this one with you! This year, we partnered with Band Together and La Fête Planning & Design for our annual fundraising event all in support of our 2023 charity partner, No Woman No Girl, and we are in awe of the tremendous love and support that we received from so many of you!

Starting in 2016, we reached out to our amazing community of extraordinary event vendors to help us create a fundraising event unlike anything we have ever seen before and it is safe to say that they went bigger and better than ever for The No Woman No Girl Initiative! With the amazing support of our sponsors, vendors and local community, we are so proud to announce that we raised $169,595 for No Woman, No Girl and cannot wait to see the positive impact that this has on so many women and girls experiencing crisis in our community.

VIP CHEF'S DINNER

We were honored to have HL Catering officially kick off An Evening To Ignite with a VIP Chef’s Dinner in our Main House designed by the talented La Fête Planning & Design team! From a multi-course space inspired dinner to an elevated bar experience sponsored by the Raleigh Wine Shop, it was such a joy watching so many people gather for an out-of-this-world dining experience while No Woman No Girl’s co-founder and executive director, Shirnetta Harrell, shared her dreams and goals for so many women and girls experiencing crisis in our community.

MAIN EVENT

After starting our night with an intimate dinner setting in our Main House, we welcomed our guests into our tent and Carriage House for a ~galactic glam~ grand reveal! As we watched jaws drop and phones light up to capture the moment, we too were in awe of the design that our amazing vendor teams put together to celebrate The No Woman, No Girl Initiative! Every square inch of our spaces came together perfectly to create the most interstellar experience and it was such a joy watching everyone as they ate, drank, danced and raised money for such an amazing cause!

THE AFTER PARTY!

Andddddd we couldn’t forget about the after party of all after parties thanks to Rocky Top Catering! From an endless amount of neon props and silent disco headsets to the coolest light up dance floor from Ultra Mix Events, we could not have thought of a better way to end one of our favorite nights of the year!

Thank you so much to our amazing sponsors and vendors for helping us put on such an impactful event for our 2023 charity partner, No Woman No Girl! We are beyond excited to see all that the future has for co-founder and executive director, Shirnetta Harrell, and the impact that she will make on so many women and girls experiencing crisis in our community.
