UCAN's 3rd Annual Boston Butt Fundraiser

UCAN’s Third Annual Boston Butt Fundraiser is back, and this year we’re raising funds for Capacity Building! Capacity Building allows us to strengthen and expand UCAN, including beginning construction and enhancing our Welcome Center to generate additional revenue, supporting staff and volunteer needs with materials and supplies, and covering essential operational costs.

Enjoy a fun-filled day for the whole family at the farm! Enjoy games, farm tours, and delicious food, including Boston Butt sandwich plates made with local meat and fish plates. It’s the perfect opportunity to have fun with us while supporting Urban Community AgriNomics (UCAN)!

Event Details:

Date: Saturday, November 8th, 11am - 4pm (Rain date: November 15th)

Location: Catawba Trail Farm

2080 Sawmill Creek Parkway, Durham, NC 27712

Thank you to everyone who supports UCAN — your contributions make a real difference in helping us grow stronger and serve our community better.

We can’t wait to see you there!
