Time Out Tuesday 2025: Thank You!

Time Out Tuesday 2025: Thank You!

Time Out Tuesday was a tremendous success. With the support of our community, we raised over $15,000 to benefit young children and families across Franklin, Granville, and Vance Counties in North Carolina.

The event took place on April 15, 2025, with a special focus on our Franklin County partners. Community members volunteered to be “timed out” at local child care centers, where they reached out to friends, family, and colleagues to raise donations for their release. Each participant aimed to raise at least $250 during their one-hour time out.

We’re excited to share that our Vance County Time Out Tuesday fundraiser was a huge success! Thanks to the generosity of our community and the dedication of our amazing volunteers, we raised $2,000 to support early childhood programs right here in Vance County.

Our volunteers took “Time Out” of their busy schedules to visit local child care centers and shine a light on the incredible work happening every day for children ages 0–5. Each volunteer set out to raise $250—and together, we exceeded our goal!
