On the Dock of the Bay Canceled

Dear Friends and Family,

On behalf of the Eastern 4-H Center, I am reaching out to share an important update regarding our annual fundraising event, On the Dock of the Bay, which has been a cherished 4-H tradition in Tyrrell County for many years. After much thought and deep consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause the event this year due to several transitions in the coming months that require our dedicated focus and careful planning.

Instead, we are excited to announce that our next celebration will take place on May 2, 2026, marking the 25th anniversary of the Eastern 4-H Center. This milestone offers a unique opportunity to create an unforgettable event that honors our collective impact. While we understand that this change may come as a surprise, please know that this decision was made with great care and a commitment to ensuring the long-term success of our organization. By focusing our efforts on the 25th anniversary event, we aim to deliver an unparalleled celebration that reflects the dedication and generosity of supporters like you.

Though we won’t gather this year, our work continues. We ask for your continued support of the programs and activities of the Eastern 4-H Center, particularly in providing camp scholarships for the upcoming summer. Your generosity ensures that children in need can experience the joy, growth and connection our camp provides. Donations can be made online at go.ncsu.edu/eastern4h or via check payable to the NC Agricultural Foundation (memo: “Eastern 4-H Center”). Checks can be dropped off at the Center or mailed to:

NC Agricultural Foundation, Inc.
Attn: Eastern 4-H Center
NC State University
Campus Box 7645

Raleigh, NC 27695-7645

To ensure support for campers this summer, please send all donations by May 3, 2025.

In the coming months, we will share more details about our 25th-anniversary celebration and ways to get involved. If you have any questions or wish to explore other ways to support the Eastern 4-H Center, feel free to reach out to me at 252-797-4800 or jlstandi@ncsu.edu.

Thank you for your understanding and continued commitment. We look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone together in 2026!

Warm regards,

Jennifer L. Standish
Center Director
