Pizza, Pins, & Pints event raises funds for The Children’s Museum of Wilmington
WILMINGTON, NC (July 31, 2024) — The Pizza, Pins, and Pints fundraising event brought the community together for a night
of entertainment and charitable giving in support of The Children’s Museum of Wilmington (CMoW). Held at Cardinal Lanes Beach Bowl, the event held on July 19th was a sell-out, attracting a diverse range of participants, from surf shops to realtors to healthcare professionals.
As the presenting sponsor for the second consecutive year, REV joined the Wilmington community in supporting CMoW, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering creative and interactive programs for children aged 0 to 10. With over 26 years of presence in the community, the museum connects three historic buildings in downtown Wilmington, providing 17,000 square feet of space that encourages imagination, curiosity, and love for learning through age-appropriate science, math, and art activities.
Patti Erkes, CMoW’s Director of Development, emphasized how REV’s ongoing partnership plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful start of each year, aiding the museum in supporting children in Southeast North Carolina as they learn and grow through play and catering to the more than 70,000 visitors it welcomes annually.
Guests at the event were treated to unlimited pizza, rounds of bowling, and locally brewed beers – all generously donated by Wilmington’s businesses. In addition to their role as presenting sponsor, REV had 17 team members forming three teams out of the 24 in attendance that night.
Adding to the excitement was the evening’s pin decorating competition where the REV team submitted two bowling pins for a chance to win a house-made trophy, and, most importantly, bragging rights. This year’s designs paid tribute to the Greenfield Lake Amphitheatre, where the popular REV Rocks Concert series has been uniting diverse communities of Wilmington and surrounding areas for three years.
Funds raised from the event will support the maintenance of educational programs,
exhibits, and outreach initiatives at the museum, where every visit offers an opportunity
for lifelong learning.
