In person · a town-partnership model
Rooted in Murfreesboro, growing across the region
Our founding host is the Town of Murfreesboro, through a partnership with the Mayor’s office. The town’s venue makes the entire day possible.
We’re working to bring gatherings to Bertie County and Northampton County next — the same free conferences, closer to more caregivers across eastern North Carolina.
In-person series
for town leaders
Bring this to your town
If you lead or serve a town in eastern North Carolina, partner with us to host free caregiver conferences for your community. There’s no better voice to open a room of caregivers than their own town’s. Here’s how a town helps:
A home for the day
A town facility from setup through teardown — the cornerstone of the partnership, and the single largest gift a town can give its caregivers.
Introductions to lunch sponsors
Local restaurants, caterers, or grocers who provide or underwrite a hot buffet lunch for up to 100 neighbors — recognized from the podium and in the program.
Introductions to door-prize donors
Businesses who donate gift cards or baskets, awarded by free drawing among registered attendees, with the same podium and program recognition.
Hope to see you there
Come for the education, stay for the community. Every caregiver is welcome.
