March of Dimes Fundraiser
March of Dimes and Texas Roadhouse
partner to give every baby a healthy start!
(Crystal Coast)— March of Dimes is excited to announce a statewide partnership with Texas Roadhouse to ensure the health of babies in our state. On Thursday, March 11, from 4:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., Texas Roadhouse restaurants across North Carolina will donate 10% of all sales accompanied by a donation voucher to March of Dimes. Donation vouchers are available at the local March of Dimes office at 5041New Centre Dr., Suite 116; Wilmington, NC 28403. Take your family out for a mouth-watering meal and a family-friendly atmosphere while helping give every baby a healthy start. Participating Texas Roadhouse locations in your area include: Texas Roadhouse of Jacksonville at 103 Moosehaven Rd; Jacksonville, NC 28546. For more information, please contact managing partner Laura Yonker at (910) 347-7427.
Whether you dine in or carry out, you will make a difference by dining with Texas Roadhouse on March 11, 2010. “The March of Dimes is extremely grateful for the support of Texas Roadhouse across North Carolina, but especially in Jacksonville,” said Michelle McDonald, March of Dimes Community Director. “During a time when many people’s level of giving to non-profit organizations is uncertain, we appreciate more than ever the support we have received from Laura Yonker and Michelle Smith, managing partners, and the citizens of the Crystal Coast area.”
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide and its premier event, March for Babies, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. The mission is accomplished through research, community service, public and professional education and advocacy. One day every baby will be born healthy, and Texas Roadhouse has partnered with the March of Dimes to help get there.
The most urgent infant health problem in the U.S. today is premature birth. It affects more than half a million babies each year, with the number growing every day. The March of Dimes issued a Report Card on Premature Birth, giving the nation a D and North Carolina an F. Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have disabilities. The March of Dimes is committed to reducing this toll by funding research to find the answers to premature birth and providing comfort and information to families who are affected.

The east coast’s largest Marine Corps air station will again open its gates to the public for its open house highlighting the latest in war fighting technology and military aviation.
This year also marks the anticipated return of the U. S. Navy’s premiere flight demonstration squadron, the “Blue Angels.” Featuring the F/A-18 Hornet, the Blue Angels’ mission is to enhance Navy and Marine Corps recruiting efforts and to represent the naval service to the United States, its elected leadership and foreign nations. The Blue Angels serve as positive role models and goodwill ambassadors for the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps.
On Friday, May 21, the air show will again host the state’s only “Night Show,” featuring afterburners, rocket trucks, aerial pyrotechnics, skydivers, plus, a wall of flame – all culminating in the area’s largest fireworks display. Gates for the Night Show open at 5 p.m. with flying commencing at twilight.
Saturday and Sunday both will highlight full “Day Shows” with a large variety of military and civilian aerobatic demonstrations, plus dozens of historic and modern military static displays. Military acts will include: the Blue Angels, a Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration highlighting the U.S. Marine Corps’ finest capabilities, various military jet demonstrations, plus several flybys and demos.
The air show will also highlight ground activities for the kids, various rides and simulators. Admission and parking are free but attendees can also enjoy paid premium seating as well. Paid seating levels and pricing will soon be available at the air show’s website.
It should also be noted that this air show will be the only air show hosted in North Carolina during 2010. For more information on the MCAS Cherry Point Air Show, and how you can play a part, check out the official air show website at www.cherrypointairshow.com or call toll free 866-WINGS-NC.
