Apr 12 all-day
North Carolina Government Online

 North Carolina’s emergency management director Mike Sprayberry has renewed the call for medical volunteers.

Clinical volunteers

  • Physicians
  • Advanced care providers
  • Nurses
  • Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

Clinical support

  • Pharmacy
  • Imaging

Raffle: Trip to London or Cash Asheville Community Theatre
Apr 12 – Apr 11 all-day
Asheville Community Theatre

 

Tickets on sale through June 28, 2020

We know how completely odd it seems to be raffling off a trip to London right now. We’re barely leaving our homes for any reason, so jetting off around the world seems flat out bonkers! We’re hopeful that international travel and fun vacations will happen again in the future – and that’s why we extended and amended the raffle prize! If you win, you can choose the trip to London (and you have 18 months to book your travel) OR you can choose to take the cash value of the trip instead ($10,000).

Our raffles have been important fundraisers for ACT over the years, and this one is no different. ACT has lost 85% of our income as an organization, so this raffle is one of the few ways we can continue to bring a little money in the door.

Buying a raffle ticket is a great way to support ACT right now – and it just might be you who gets some really great news from us!
