Funds raised at the event enabled members to purchase items for the UNC Health Southeastern donation including: a car seat, Pack N Play, clothes, blankets, formula, toys, baby wash, lotion, wipes, diapers, and gas cards. Diapers were donated by Robeson County Church and Community Center and gas cards were donated by Oliver Oil Company.
