Teeny Tiny Turtles on the Tar

🐢Mark your calendars! The 5th Annual Teeny Tiny Turtles on the Tar is back and better than ever! Join us on September 6th for a day of fun and excitement!

Our challenge is to find all 2,000 turtles a home. For that, we need your help getting them adopted! Starting June 5th, you can purchase your turtles online.

Each turtle sold allows us to continue to carry out our mission to over 1,800 youth in the Twin Counties. Once all the turtles are sold, they will be dropped from the Peachtree Street Bridge at the Rocky Mount Mills campus (don’t worry, no turtles are harmed during this event).

Remember, this isn’t just a race with 2,000 rubber turtles trying to make it to the finish line, it’s a race where our most precious and vulnerable commodities: our children, and our future, are trying to make it over the line in a race fraught with hurdles. We’re up to the challenge, and we know you are too.

Stay tuned for more information on turtles sales and the event!
