The Sip on Soup event is a fun and flavorful way to support the Old Baldy Foundation’s Lighthouse Learners Program. This program brings over 1,000 fourth-grade students from North Carolina's schools on an unforgettable journey to Bald Head Island, where they explore Old Baldy, the state’s oldest standing lighthouse. The field trip provides a unique educational experience that blends history, science, and nature. By participating in or attending this event, you're helping raise money to ensure these students can continue to have access to this incredible hands-on learning opportunity. Join us for a day of delicious soup and support a great cause!
