The annual Youth Mission Trip Fundraising Dinner, hosted by the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township (PCCT) on April 28th, was a resounding success, raising $10,500. The event provided attendees with a delicious North Carolina Barbecue and a silent auction featuring over 40 generously donated baskets.

Proceeds subsidize the cost of sending 28 high school youth and 9 adult chaperones to a mission trip to Plymouth, North Carolina. During this trip, they will work with Carolina Rebuilding Ministry to assist in home repairs.

Rev. Thomas A. Brown, the mission trip leader and Associate Pastor, said, ““We are thrilled with the overwhelming support we've received for this trip and are deeply grateful for the volunteers who make the fundraiser such a success.”
