But First… Help Us Spread a Little Extra Cheer

Instead of a giveaway this month, we’re asking Raleigh Weekend readers to choose where we donate $100 on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025. Choose from our list of local nonprofits: The Women’s Center, Friends of Wake County Animal Center, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, Read and Feed, and CASA—or suggest your own favorite cause. Cast your vote and help us make an impact in our community this holiday season!
