RALEIGH, NC . . . In its 21st year, North State Bank’s Summer Salute for Transitions LifeCare raised
$115,000, bringing the event’s lifetime donation to over $2.4 million. Funds are raised through
sponsorships, ticket sales, raffles, live and silent auctions, and donations. These funds provide financial support to ensure every individual who needs hospice and palliative care receives quality care and support when facing a serious illness or near life’s end.
North State Bank President and CEO Larry D. Barbour shared, “From the start, we set out to create a
fundraiser in support of a local organization helping local people—our families, friends, and neighbors. Transitions LifeCare does just that—meeting one of life’s hardest moments with compassion and care. Through an energetic committee, dedicated sponsors, and a team of employees who work hard and work well together, Summer Salute has surpassed all expectations. Next year, as our Bank celebrates its 25th year in business, Summer Salute is on track to pass the mark of $2.5 million donated to Transitions Lifecare. We look forward to crossing that milestone.”
“I echo Larry’s comments,” said Dr. Adam Wolk, Transitions LifeCare’s CEO. “And we extend dignity
and respect, not only to our patients, but to their families and friends, during their time with us and
following the loss of their loved one. The funds raised by this dedicated committee and through the
support of committed sponsors helps to assure care and support are available to everyone. A big thank you to North State Bank and to the Summer Salute committee for their hard work this year and for the past two decades.”
With Summer Salute 2024 in the books, initial plans for next year are underway for a great evening of
fun, celebration, and fundraising on Saturday evening, May 31, 2025, at Raleigh’s North Ridge Country
Club.
