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!

An Evening To Ignite 2024!

WHAT. A. NIGHT! 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 2024 charity partner, Neighbor To Neighbor , a local non-profit dedicated to reversing the debilitating effects poverty has on the most vulnerable families in Raleigh. They believe in providing long-term, one-on-one mentoring relationships for teens resulting in positive generational leaps in education, employment and personal development. 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 we raised $201,933.32 for Neighbor To Neighbor ! Every single dollar that was raised will help bring to life Neighbor to Neighbor’s dream of a state-of-the-art teen tech center that will create more training pathways, mentorships, and employment opportunities for youth in our community. We cannot wait to see this space realized! The success of this event is due in large part to the generosity of our vendor community and their contributions of time, effort, staffing, materials, inventory, and talents. Over 40 local event industry vendors came together to donate over $250,000+ of goods and services to ensure 100% of the proceeds raised during the event went directly to Neighbor to Neighbor. Year after year, our vendor friends continuously raise the bar by outdoing themselves and helping make Evening to Ignite bigger and better than the year before. We are eternally grateful to be in such a collaborative and talented industry!

After wrapping up our annual fundraising event, An Evening To Ignite, we would like to share our success and thank our partners.

One Year Anniversary of An Evening To Ignite 2020 Benefiting Families Together

By Amy Yarbrough • March 7, 2021
It’s hard to believe that An Evening to Ignite was a year ago! Right before our world changed, we threw the party of the year to raise money for Families Together, an organization that helps fight homelessness in Wake County. Guests were transported back to the Roaring Twenties to enjoy a night full of eating, drinking, and dancing all while raising money for a charity that we quickly came to love. A giant tent served as the entrance into the magic where people were greeted with secret hands offering champagne. Chandeliers made from pampas hung above while cozy lounges created the perfect speakeasy vibe. Jazz music flowed throughout, while cigars were rolled, tarot cards were read, and poker chips were stacked. In the Carriage House, the sounds of saxophones and trumpets echoed from the band while the numbers on the screen continued to rise. Auction items were on display and bid on again and again throughout the night. UNC basketball tickets, a weekend trip to Aspen, and diamond earrings were among these items just to name a few! Light-up neon rings known as “Bling Rings” on event night could be seen on everyone’s fingers and bought from any host. It’s safe to say they became a fashion statement by the end of the night! As the evening went on the party only got better. The space was transformed into a neon wonderland for everyone’s favorite- a silent disco! Guests jammed out to different songs on their headphones while dancers floated through the crowd. As the night progressed eyes were focused on the numbers on the board and determined to meet our goal.  With the help of some amazing vendor partners, we are so proud that we were able to raise over $100,000 creating homes for 41 homeless families in our community! We can not thank our guests enough for joining us in supporting such a wonderful cause. Each year we look forward to hosting this annual event that has helped so many amazing organizations in need and will continue to do so once it’s safe to be together again. We can not wait to do it even bigger and better next year! Cheers to a Roaring 2022!
