NORTH STATE BANK’S SUMMER SALUTE RAISES $135,000 FOR TRANSITIONS LIFECARE

North State Bank's Summer Salute, an annual beach-themed fundraiser
benefiting Transitions LifeCare, presented the organization with a $135,000 donation. Held at
Raleigh's North Ridge Country Club, Summer Salute is a fun-filled evening featuring live music,
raffle prizes, casino games, and auctions. Now in its 23rd year, the fundraiser has contributed a
total of $2,723,000 to support Transitions LifeCare's mission of providing compassionate
hospice and palliative care services to individuals and families throughout the region.
"With each passing year, our connection to Transitions LifeCare grows stronger, and we
continue to deepen our relationship as organizations founded to serve this community," said
Larry Barbour, CEO of North State Bank. "I cannot overstate the importance and impact they
have on thousands of lives each year. Supporting individuals and their families at the end of life
is a calling, and the team at Transitions LifeCare answers that calling with expertise, passion, and
grace. We are pleased to support this vital organization, and we look forward to working with
them to make the 2027 event another standout Summer Salute.”
“We could not provide the compassionate care and support that Triangle-area pediatric and adult
patients with life-limiting illnesses, and their families, rely on without the generosity of North
State Bank and the donors who make our work possible,” said Adam Wolk, CEO of Transitions
LifeCare. “Because of community partners like North State Bank and the success of events such
as this, we can fulfill our promise to care for all, regardless of their financial circumstances. We
are deeply grateful to the entire North State Bank family for their unwavering commitment to our
mission and to the community we serve.”
Planning is already underway for next year's event, which will be held on Saturday, June 5,
2027, at 6 p.m. at Raleigh's North Ridge Country Club. More information will be available at
