2026 Division 3

The Junior League of Raleigh, NC brings not one but two remarkable fund development stories to the stage tonight. First, their signature event, A Shopping Spree!, drew 5,000 guests and showcased over 100 local and national vendors, generating more than $200,000 for the League. In 2025, proceeds from A Shopping Spree! allowed the League to award $25,000 in community grants to four local nonprofit organizations doing critical work for women, children, and families in their community. JLR’s premier leadership giving circle is the 1930 Society, now celebrating its 10th anniversary. What began with a vision for sustainable giving has grown into a movement that this year alone raised more than $80,000, bringing the society’s cumulative ten year impact to over $1,000,000! But that’s not it, through all their diversified fundraising efforts, including the Governor’s Inaugural Ball, Touch-a-Truck, Annual Giving, A Shopping Spree!, and the 1930 Society, the Junior League of Raleigh raised over $1,000,000 in the 2025-2026 League Year.

Congratulations to the Junior League of Raleigh, NC!
