The charities chosen for 2011 are The Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, The Humane Society of Charlotte, and The Carolina Raptor Center.

The Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina will use 100% of the funds they receive from us to purchase food for their Backpack program and/or their Senior Box program. The Backpack program provides a backpack full of nutritious, ready to eat or easy to prepare foods on weekends and holidays to children at risk of hunger. Recipients have reported that this is often the only food they get to eat all weekend. The Senior Box program provides boxed food to seniors at risk of hunger.
