RALEIGH, NC . . . North State Bank’s 20th Summer Salute for Transitions LifeCare will be held Saturday evening, June 3, 2023, at North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh, announced both Sondra Collins and Jim Branch, event co-chairs. North Carolina’s premier beach band, The Embers with Craig Woolard, will return bringing a fun evening of music and dancing to enjoy along with great food, fun, and fundraising.

Approaching its 20th anniversary, the annual fundraiser and Raleigh’s best beach party has provided more than $2.0 million to Transitions LifeCare (formerly Hospice of Wake County), through the event, and its associated Summer Fun Raffle and 10 Days of Summer Salute online auction. The funds assure all patients and their families receive the care and support they need during one of life’s most difficult times.
