Project Lifesaver at Captains Cap a huge success!

The Project Lifesaver fundraiser last night was a huge success, much bigger than anyone imagined!   We started with some diners who came before our 5:30 beginning and by 45 minutes the entire restaurant parking lot was full!  People came to help support this important program for Lincoln County and there were many families sharing stories of a loved one with Alzheimer's, which brought them to participate. 

The Rotary Club was given one side of the restaurant, about 150 seating, but by a little after 6, that was full and Captains Cap let us spread to the remainder of the restaurant. 

Captains Cap Restaurant sponsored this event along with the Denver Lake Norman Rotary Club, and with 100 percent of the donations going as contributions, our total was just over $10,000 for Project Lifesaver.  

All in all, it was a great success for an important program to benefit those in need in Lincoln County.
