Band Together NC got nostalgic for it's 25th anniversary--bringing it back with a throwback concert, VIP block party, and all the signature Band Together vibes. On Saturday Oct 18, in Raleigh, they hosted the Mighty Giveback at Lincoln Theater's Outdoor Stage, featuring Southern rock jam-band legends Gov't Mule. The event also included performances by Young Gun Silver Fox (inside set) and Edwin McCain. See Gov't Mule's setlist here.
It was held on the Lincoln Theater's Outdoor Stage and supported the goal of raising money for charities in the Triangle region of North Carolina. The event successfully raised over $1 million for mental health initiatives, impacting over 15,000 individuals!
As the Southeast's largest annual benefit concert event, The Mighty Giveback is powered by two incredible local forces - Band Together and United Way Greater Triangle. It strives to deliver on both of their missions by connecting the community to nonprofits through the power of live music and investing in community-driven solutions. And this year, they lend their spotlight to support six local nonprofit partners advancing youth and family mental health in Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties:
Boys and Girls Club of Durham and Orange Counties, in partnership with Stand Up Speak Out-NC
El Futuro
Foundation of Hope
NAMI-Wake County
Shining Light in Darkness

Kudos to all involved for continuing to put the FUN in FUNdraising 25 years and counting!
