Make plans to join us at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina on January 1st and ring in the new year with a splash while supporting these two charities!
The First Rung Foundation, also known as First Rung Partners, is a 501(c)3 private family foundation established in 2020 to provide entrepreneurs with funding to help launch a startup or accelerate an early stage business in eastern North Carolina, with a priority focus on Carteret County.
Our goal is to make this region more attractive to young entrepreneurs by providing micro-loans, coaching, and education so that new business owners can turn their passions into sustainable profits. We want to invest in your business to help you build your own ladder to success.
BackPack Friends provides nutritional meals and snacks to children who may need a little extra over the weekend. By supplying these bags, our goal is to assist in meeting their nutritional, mental, and overall well-being needs. We need your help!! The number of children in need is growing on a daily basis so we need your continued support. Now in our 12th year, BackPack Friends delivers over 800 backpacks of food to children in 22 schools throughout Carteret, Craven, Onslow, and Jones counties each week; all packed by caring volunteers with 100% donated food supplies at an annual cost of almost $288,000.
