Bright Futures Ahead in 2025!

Spezio Italian Dinner Fundraiser returns for a fourth year!

On Saturday, February 15, 2025

the Spezio Italian Dinner Fundraiser is back!

This favorite annual event is brought to us by Joe & Nancy DePippo with 100% of proceeds coming to our Club.

A Spezio carryout dinner is $200 and will include enough to feed 6-8 people.

The box includes:

• One 9 x 13 full pan vegetarian cheese lasagna, prepared from scratch
• 6 meatballs & sauce, prepared from scratch using traditional Italian family recipes
• One container of extra sauce
• 4 Hickory Nut Gap Farms mild Italian sausage links
• One loaf of ciabatta bread from Pisgah Bakehouse
• One pan of tiramisu from Blue Ridge Bakery
• 6 Specialty Italian cookies from Cup & Saucer
• 8 pieces of Perugina Dark Chocolates
• A coupon for a discount on a bottle of wine from Broad Street Wines
• A floral touch from Floressence Flowers

Items are prepared and then assembled in Brevard College's kitchen and boxed and ready for carryout to reheat and enjoy! A perfect meal whether you are hosting an Italian dinner with friends OR just enjoying a quiet night in with family.

Not in town that weekend? We are continuing our tradition of offering boxes for purchase that will be donated to local food banks and our staff families.

Pickup from 10am until 12pm on Saturday, February 10th from the side parking lot of Brevard College Bill's Boiler House Coffee Shop.

Dr. Bob's Bus- One Year Later...

Dr. Graham was a longtime seasonal Lake Toxaway resident who was committed to helping people discover their potential, believe in themselves, and succeed, whether in the classroom, business world, or on the golf course.

Upon hearing of our need for safe transportation to serve our Rosman families and the surrounding area, Dr. Graham’s friends from near and far began to send donations to our Club to support the cost of a new bus in memory of Dr. Graham. Within 6 weeks our Boys & Girls Club had received enough donations in memory of Dr. Graham to fund a brand new bus!

As we approach the one-year mark, we wanted to share a little bit about the impact this bus has already made:

• 42 Club members served daily
• 3 schools served (Rosman Elementary, Rosman Middle & Brevard High)
• 9 field trips which included college tours and trips to Gorges State Park
