The Whirl: The Big Give

On Dec. 2, Loop Creative partnered with United Way of the Greater Triangle to host The Big Give at Artspace. Emceed by Mikaya Thurmond of Milan Public Relations, the 8th annual fundraiser provided local nonprofits — including Arts Together, Diaper Bank of North Carolina, Foster Family Alliance, The Great Raleigh Cleanup, North Carolinians Against Gun Violence, Raleigh Area Land Trust, Refugee Hope Partners, SAFEChild, Samaritan Health Center, Seasons Village, StepUp Durham and Youth Ambassadors of Service — the opportunity to share their mission and accomplishments. Attendees participated in a live auction and enjoyed tasty bites provided by HL Catering.
