Fundraising
The club sponsors three major fundraisers each year. They are Fashion
Show, Red, White, and Green Auction, and Over the Tabletop.
Money raised through these projects is used for our Scholarship Fund to give $2,000 scholarships
to women who are working and going back to school. We also donate money throughout the year to many
worthy organizations in the community such as: Ada Jenkins,
Lake Norman Free Clinic, Life Span, Huntersville Free Dental Clinic, Solomon
House, Hope House, and Dove House.
Fall Fashion Show Extravaganza – This show is held in October and
kicks off our fundraising efforts. Chico’s, Steinmart, and Cold
Water Creek have been shown in the past. This year, our fashions are
by Dillard’s Department Store. Attendees are dazzled by holiday fashions,
gift baskets to bid on in silent auction, live auctions, and many, many door
prizes to be given away Did we mention the wonderful gift bags that
every participant will receive? It is a night of fun, glamour, and
raising money for the Education Department and the many scholarships that
they give out at the end of the year
Red, White, & Green Live Auction – In December, there is no guest
speaker Our holiday program involves all members They are asked
to bring something $10 or more in a red, green, or white bag to be auctioned
off by President Denise Carter Members bid according to what they
would like to donate to the club in support of the many projects that are
done in the communities A lot of fun, a lot of money Don’t
be surprised if you spend $35 on a homegrown tomato.
Cookbooks – What good club doesn’t have a great cookbook? Ours
is fabulous with tested recipes from many members It also is named
for our original name Huntersville Woman’s Club in honor of those members Contact
us for a great gift.
Butterbraids – This mouthwatering pastry comes in a variety of flavors – apple,
cherry, cheesecake, etc. and is purchased frozen. Look for our ladies taking
orders in the fall for the holidays and spring for Easter The club
keeps 40% of the selling price
Charity Days – Belks and Macy’s – These stores sponsor
Charity Days at their stores about once a year Club members work at
the desk at the stores for a few hours during the event selling special discount
tickets We then share all proceeds with the other Charity groups.
