About The Fundraiser
This fundraiser benefits United Way of the Cape Fear Area, who works with our community to leverage resources and improve the lives of local people.
As a local, independently operated non-profit organization, they are uniquely positioned to neutrally assess the assets and needs of the people of the Cape Fear region, develop thoughtful solutions, and serve as a trusted steward of the resources and financial investments of the community. You can learn more about them here!
This will be a concert-style fundraiser, featuring the following bands: Signal Fire, Blue Footed Boobies, Krispee Biscuits, MC J Sales and Brooke Renshaw (from the Band Oc3ans).
There is no vendor fee for this event, although we are asking that participating vendors donate a raffle item for the fundraiser. If you are interested in donating a raffle item, you can let us know here! Each vendor will be allotted a 10x10 space outdoors and will be required to bring their own tent, tables and chairs - although tents are optional. Please be aware that this is a concert-based fundraiser, meaning it will likely be a louder setting - which may not be suitable for all vendors. More information will be shared upon acceptance!
Please do not apply more than once! Vendors will only be contacted upon acceptance, although you can revisit this page for information on whether acceptances have been sent out. We will post this information at the top, for your convenience!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at info@DowntownILMMarket.org. Thanks so much for your interest in our events!
