The Carter Foundation was nothing short of amazing! The weather was perfect, and the community came together for food, fun, and fellowship.
A huge thank you to every community partner, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who came out, set up, and poured into this event.
It takes a village to the next generation. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue to "Inspire Youth and Bring Unity to our Community"

5-Year Celebration was a meaningful milestone for us. For 12 years, The Carter Foundation has been serving the community, and for the past 5 years, we’ve been blessed to do that work through the Youth Academy.
We’re truly grateful for the fellowship, the support, and everyone who played a part. The purpose was to bring unity and inspiration and that’s exactly what we experienced.
We welcomed over 20 new sign-ups, recognized outstanding community partners and parents, and embraced new members into our family. The community wins when we support the youth.💙
