The CARE Clinic will have its 1st annual Boujee Bingo hosted by Aiyana Lynch on Thursday, June 13, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at The Carolina Barn, 7765 McCormick Bridge Rd, Spring Lake. This event is a must-attend for anyone who wants to support a worthy cause while enjoying a night of fun and excitement. The price of admission is $50. Appetizers and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the cost of admission.
All proceeds raised will benefit The CARE Clinic, a licensed 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides free, quality healthcare to the low-income and uninsured adult residents of Cumberland and bordering counties. Since the clinic does not receive government funding, it relies on grants, donations, and fundraising events like this one to maintain its operations, so attendance and support are crucial to keeping the clinic operating.

Clinical volunteers who work tirelessly to meet the needs of their patients, offering primary care services, simple dental extractions, and outside referrals to specialists. It has earned them a Gold Rating from the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics Quality Standards Program in 2022.
