🚨 EAST ROCKINGHAM JUNIOR FIREFIGHTERS FUNDRAISER 🚨

The East Rockingham Junior Firefighters are proud to announce our Thin Layer Chocolate Cake Raffle to help support our junior program and the future firefighters of our community!

We will be raffling off a delicious Thin Layer Chocolate Cake from Riverside Bakery in Hamlet, North Carolina — a local favorite known for their amazing cakes and desserts.

🎟 Ticket Information:
• $5 Per Ticket
• ONLY 100 tickets will be sold!

Once all tickets are sold, a winner will be drawn and announced.

Tickets will be distributed to members of the East Rockingham Fire Department to sell throughout the community. If you do not personally know a firefighter with the department, simply send a message to the East Rockingham Fire Department page and we will make sure you are able to get tickets.

Your support helps provide opportunities, training, equipment, and experiences for the next generation of firefighters. Every ticket purchased goes directly toward supporting our junior firefighters as they continue learning, growing, and serving the community.

We truly appreciate the continued support from our community, neighboring departments, family, and friends. Please help us spread the word by liking, sharing, and supporting this fundraiser.

Thank you for supporting the East Rockingham Junior Firefighters! 🚒
