Raleigh, NC -- North State Bank’s 2008 Summer Salute for Hospice of Wake County raised $135,000, announced Larry D. Barbour, president and CEO for North State Bank. This brings the event’s five-year total to $618,000. All proceeds benefit Hospice of Wake County.

“North State Bank is proud to have such a strong partnership with Hospice of Wake County,” said Barbour. “We chose to commit ourselves to this worthy organization six years ago, and we will continue to do so for many years to come. I am so pleased with the amount of money raised from this year’s event, and I cannot thank our gracious sponsors and hardworking volunteers enough for helping make this event such a success.” The event was held on May 31 at North Ridge Country Club, and guests danced the night away to beach music tunes sung by Raleigh’s own, The Embers. Contributions were raised through sponsorships, ticket sales, a raffle, an auction and other donations.

Hospice of Wake County will use the money raised to help fund their indigent patient care fund, which helps to cover the cost of the salaries of professional staff, the purchase of prescription medications for patients, rental of durable medical equipment, and emergency assistance.

Summer Salute gold sponsors included Barton Development Group, Caddell Communications, PPM, Inc., Red Star Oil, Inc., Stancil and Company, Wake Nephrology Associates, PA, Kim and Mark Schweibinz and Wakefield Hotels, LLC/ Hema and Nick Shah/Gail and Hal Perry.
