The Carolina Cares Christmas $100 Club

To help us reach our goal of $10,000 we have created the brand new Carolina Cares Christmas $100 Club. We are seeking 100 generous and compassionate friends who will each give $100 to make Christmas a reality for hundreds of local children who otherwise would not have a merry Christmas.

Donate via PayPal

Please add "Christmas Club" to your donation note.

If you would like to remain anonymous, please note that as well.

Thank you!
