Ariana Jo, Realtor and I always love a moment with ROC Solid, building players for kids with cancer. Last year, I was thrilled to sponsor Lip Sync For the Cure where we raised nearly $10,000 to build 5 playsets for area children.

This year’s Lip Sync event is being held tonight at Wrightsville Beach and the funds raised benefit American Goldstar Families.

🌟American Gold Star Families will receive all proceeds from the night! Providing Honor, Hope, and Healing for grieving military families who have lost a loved one while serving on active duty. 🇺🇸
