We cordially invite you to participate in the Celebrity Family Weekend events in the town that we call home. Enjoy as we do the warm, quaint, southern town of New Bern, North Carolina from April 20 to 22, 2012 while benefitting great causes.  

Our event-filled weekend will take place at multiple venues centered around the confluence of the Neuse & Trent Rivers where you are sure to witness amazing sunsets. Come join us and make great memories with your family and friends. 

Mingle with celebrity athletes, artists, authors and musicians. Attend the Nicholas Sparks Film Festival in the historic Athen’s Theatre. Tour the charm of New Bern’s 300-year-old historic sites many of which I highlight in my books. Play a beautiful, waterfront golf course lined with ancient oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. Run the track on which I coached my state champion track teams. 

This weekend’s proceeds will benefit Hope for the Warrior, Paws with a Cause as well as global education initiatives for our youth.

In advance, we thank you for your participation and for joining my family’s efforts in raising awareness and financial support for charities we value immensely.

My family and I look forward to sharing our Southern hospitality with you and your family in our hometown of New Bern, North Carolina. 

With utmost regards,

Nicholas Sparks & Family
