“We’re thrilled to announce our 2021 nonprofit partner recipients for Comeback Fest.

Each nonprofit organization was selected through a rigorous application process and chosen for their commitment to community impact. Selected nonprofit organizations serve Wake, Durham, Orange and Johnston County, and meet at least one of United Way’s Three Pillars of Investment: Cradle to Career, Equity in Leadership, and Healthy Families.
