Charlotte, NC (November 4, 2024) — A Night of IMPACT, an event organized by LOVING and industry partners, including Yardnique, successfully raised over $300,000 to support individuals impacted by Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina. Held on Monday, November 4, in Charlotte, NC, the event drew approximately 200 guests from across the United States.
The gathering, which coincided with the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ annual ELEVATE Conference, attracted many members of the landscaping community. Attendees enjoyed an unforgettable evening filled with live music, gourmet food and drinks, and an exciting live auction that far exceeded its original fundraising goal of $100,000. Among the auction’s items was a luxury vacation package at The Cove Riverwalk Villas in Wilmington, NC, donated by the Yardnique team.
All proceeds from the event, including funds raised during the auction, will be donated to Samaritan’s Purse to ensure that the full amount goes directly to support those affected by Hurricane Helene. The event’s success highlights the generosity and solidarity of the industry in times of crisis.
