Upcoming Events

Join us for the 2nd annual Self-Care Holiday Market Fundraiser!

This event supports Darkness RISING Project’s REBUILD Program, which offers FREE therapy services for formerly incarcerated people of color.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 14th, when three neighboring locations in Downtown Raleigh, NC will come alive with local businesses offering unique items for your holiday shopping.
In addition to shopping, you can enjoy photos with a Black Santa Claus, delicious lite bites, refreshing drinks, access to a VIP area, exciting raffle giveaways, and free mental health and wellness resources for the community.

This event is FREE and open to the public, so bring your friends and family for a day of self-care, holiday spirit, and supporting a great cause. Let’s celebrate the season and give back to our community.
