    Race Benefactor

    As a non-profit serving impoverished and homeless children and families, Note in the Pocket started with a simple mission: to clothe children with dignity and love. Note in the Pocket believes that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school.

    We have a goal to clothe 12,00 children and families from across the Triangle in 2026. Proceeds from this event help to make that happen.
