Since the founding of our Council, we have supported numerous charities throughout the years by fundraising for “Operation LAMB” the sole mission of which is to support those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Over the 20 years our Council has been raising money for LAMB, our Council has raised over $1,000,000 through Tootsie Roll® drives, various fundraisers, and individual and corporate donations.
"The LAMB Foundation of NC is a public 501(c)3 not-for-profit charity dedicated solely to assisting people who have intellectual disabilities within the state of North Carolina. Our organization is composed entirely of volunteers. As a result, 93% of the funds we raise directly goes to programs that support people with intellectual disabilities."
Come spend an hour or two with a Brother or with your family collecting donations to help the intellectually disabled!
