The Junior League of Roanoke Valley is hosting its 38th annual Stocked Market fundraiser this weekend. The shopping event runs Friday morning through Sunday evening, and hosts more than one hundred vendors from across the country, showcases from local performing arts companies, basket raffles, letters to Santa, and more family-friendly activities.
Kaila Stevens, co-chair of this year’s Stocked Market, says the most heart warming part of the event is that all the funds raised go directly back into the community.
“So we have both scholarship funds and community grant funds,” Stevens said. “Scholarships fund young women and men who look to go into, whether it’s a trade school or community college or four-year university. But then our community grant fund funds anything from LEAP, to last year we also funded a drive for brain injury awareness.
Over the past 37 years, the three-day shopping event has raised over 4-million dollars to further Junior League’s mission to empower women leadership and support the community.
Tickets to the Stocked Market are 12-dollars in advance and 14-dollars at the door at the Berglund Center in Roanoke.
