We are even more excited for the return of our ‘Derby on the Dock’ theme, which will include many nods to the weekend’s Kentucky Derby event. As we enjoy an evening on the center’s waterfront, we will kick off the event with something new for the Sponsors and Alumni starting at 5:30 pm. Event guests are welcome for the event’s start at 6:30 pm to join us for dinner and the derby in the center’s waterfront conference room. Around 7:30 pm, we will all head to the boardwalk to enjoy dancing by ‘the dock of the bay’ with North Tower.


Throughout the evening, bid on your favorite silent auction item(s) and enjoy everyone's event favorites, including the dessert station, which will feature a traditional Derby Butter Cake and all the fixings.


As we plan this year's fundraising event, your support is essential to the Eastern 4-H Center and its future youth programs! Your support directly impacts summer camp scholarships and the center's educational programs, reaching hundreds of youth and helping their families from Raleigh to the Outer Banks!
