The November Business After Hours hosted by Quality Plus Automotive Service and Help Me Rhonda Interiors will have a Give Back to the Community theme. In addition to the networking and refreshments there will be a raffle to benefit Mazie’s Mission Toy Drive for Duke Children’s Hospital.
Your donation can be as little or as much as you like: a gift certificate to your store, spa treatment, restaurant gift certificate, concert tickets, etc. Even an item as big as a mountain or beach house that you can raffle for a weekend would be appreciated. Anything helps! All items, along with your business name, will be showcased during the event.
Please email Anna Wood at marketing@qualityplusautomotive.com or Rhonda Plummer at hmrhondaint@hotmail.com with the item(s) you will be donating. Let’s make this a fabulous event that is not only fun but giving, and rally together and show everyone why Wake Forest is simply the best.
