The third annual Cars & Carnivores Street Festival returns to Downtown Wake Forest, building on the incredible success of previous years. More than 60 cancer patients in the community have already had their past-due medical debt paid off, and this year’s goal is to make an even more significant impact.

The “Wake Forest Medical Debt Relief” initiative, in partnership with WakeMed Health & Hospitals, is dedicated to alleviating the financial burdens of cancer patients, allowing them to focus on their health and recovery. The fundraising goal for this year is $50,000, ensuring even more patients receive much-needed financial relief.

Sponsoring this event offers a unique opportunity to make a profound impact while gaining valuable exposure within the community. The festival will feature a stunning display of classic cars, various food trucks offering diverse and delicious options, and the highly anticipated steak cook-off competition. All proceeds go directly toward paying off past-due medical debt for cancer patients receiving care at WakeMed Health & Hospitals.

Various sponsorship levels provide unique benefits highlighting businesses committed to supporting the community. Detailed information about sponsorship opportunities and benefits can be found in this packet’s Sponsorship Levels and Benefits section.

For sponsorship inquiries or more information, contact 919-656-6570 or wakeforestrotary@gmail.com. Every dollar contributes to the $50,000 goal, making a life-changing difference for cancer patients and their families.
