Giving

   

This is the season for giving and we are asking for your help.  One of our 4-H Endowments that would benefit our youth in perpetuity is close to being finished and we would like your help getting it to the top.

    Robert Wilkes 4-H Entrepreneurship Endowment is to honor the outstanding career of a gentleman who supported Robeson County 4-H Youth Development programs for more than 50 years.  Always being a visionary, he successfully moved into different positions and finally bought a business and expanded it to fill a growing need within Robeson County.  His vision allowed him to be successful in business, family, and with friends.  

  Mr. Wilkes had a vision for 4-H in Robeson County to make sure every child has the opportunities he had to learn in a safe and nurturing environment and achieve their full potential in this ever-changing global society, so they too can be the best in their chosen field.  It is fitting that this endowment will be utilized for youth achievements in the area of entrepreneurship and leadership.  Always blazing a path, Robert is opening the door for current and future entrepreneurs encouraging, supporting and envisioning our futures.  

  Robert passed away prior to seeing this dream come to fruition.  Can you help us make this happen?  There are two ways to give.  You can purchase a Down-Home Goodness Cookbook created by our 4-H members, volunteers, and supporters for just $10.  All the proceeds go to the Endowment.  You can purchase the cookbook at our office at 455 Caton Road, Lumberton, NC 28360. or email Shea Ann DeJarnette at shea_ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu.  If you would like to purchase a cookbook and have it sent please know that shipping and handling charges will be added.
