Manteo to Murphy – PAC Fundraiser

Join us for an unforgettable evening at The Pavilion at the Angus Barn as North Carolina’s hospitality community comes together to support the industry’s political advocacy efforts—from Manteo to Murphy.

Hosted by Van Eure, Steve Thanhauser, and Lance Trenary, this premier event benefits the NC Restaurant & Lodging Association PAC, the NCRLA Advocacy Fund, and the National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant PAC.

Enjoy chef-crafted small bites, craft cocktails from NC distillers, and a spirited evening of live and silent auctions featuring one-of-a-kind travel packages, wine dinners, culinary experiences, and more.

Your support ensures hospitality’s voice is heard—at the local, state, and national levels. Proceeds help elect candidates who understand and champion our industry.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact Isabel Villa-Garcia, NCRLA Vice President of Government Affairs, at ivilla-garcia@ncrla.org to learn more.

Special thanks to our sponsors!

Under North Carolina law, we are required to report the name, mailing address, employer and job title of anyone who contributes more than $50 to the NCRLA Political Action Committee (NCRLA PAC) in any election cycle. Contributions cannot exceed $6,400 per election cycle. The law requires that contributions to the NCRLA PAC be made by individuals, not corporations.

Contributions to Restaurant PAC are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to Restaurant PAC are for political purposes. All contributions to Restaurant PAC are voluntary. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal. The proposed contribution amounts are merely suggestions; you may choose to contribute more or less or not at all. Contributions cannot exceed $5,000 per election cycle. The NRA will not favor or disadvantage anyone by reason of the amount contributed or the decision not to contribute. Federal law requires political committees to report the name, address, occupation, and name of employer for each individual whose contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in a calendar year. Federal law prohibits corporate contributions.**
