"I not only help you own your home, I help you own the knowledge to get there!"  Steve Rassin

Community Involvement


In today’s society there are many extracurricular activities available to young children. Many youth sports provide many positive effects that can last a lifetime.

Some of those extra curricular activities include playing soccer, football, cheerleading, wrestling, karate, basketball, golf, hockey and the list goes on.  If approached correctly youth activities can bring wonderful feelings of self-worth. Playing youth sports can help with living a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a healthy weight, creating positive self-esteem, and avoiding harmful demises.  

But unfortunately some children are never given the opportunity to participate in youth sports because of economic factors beyond their control. 
We at DonateYourJersey.com, invite you or your entire team to donate your jerseys to our non-profit organization at the end of your season.  We will ship those jerseys wherever they are needed.   
We have some EXCITING NEWS for teams wanting to donate their jerseys!

A BIG thank you to Steve Rassin for starting this organization and helping spread the word every week on his radio show!  If you would like to contact Steve and donate your jerseys on the air LIVE, call him at 910-616-3273.  And as a big bonus, if you live in Wilmington or surroundings areas, give Steve a call to have YOUR TEAM donate your jerseys and appear LIVE ON THE SHOW which airs on Wednesdays on the BigTalker FM 93.7 and 106.3.  He also video/broadcasts his show over the internet,

kindness isn't a way of life, it's "the way" to life!
Two children on a mission to help make the world a KINDER place! 
Together these two children have raised over $600.00 to donate to various charities and causes.  They have fed the homeless over 500 meals at a local Soup Kitchen and helped raise the funds to feed 100 elderly and shut-ins on Christmas Eve in 2009.  The two of them truly believe that every act of kindness is meaningful. They hope you too, will live a KINDNESS KIDSlife!

The Annual Carousel Center Gala:  Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and More

April 16, 2010

One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock rock
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock rock
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight!

Back in 1955, Bill Haley and the Comets used these lyrics to usher in the era of Rock n’ Roll, wowing audiences everywhere and making musical history. On Friday, April 16, at 8 p.m. at downtown Wilmington’s Coastline Conference and Event Center, the same culture-bending, hip-twisting, guitar-twanging history will be revisited in all its celebrity at The Carousel Center’s “Making Legends Local – Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and More” seventh annual live benefit performance.

The one-night-only event on Friday, April 16, will showcase the talent of local community and business leaders who assume the identities of various Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famers, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Queen, Janis Joplin, The Beatles and KISS.
The program begins at 8 p.m. and is preceded by a Red Carpet reception from 6 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person for the show and $100 per person for the receptions and preferred seating at the show. A limited number of tickets will be available for $25 per person. Tickets are available for purchase by calling The Carousel Center at (910) 254-9898.
