17th Annual Big Day at the Lake /Photo by Brock Williams Smith

April 11. Enjoy lunch or dinner out on Monday, April 11 at Crafty Burg’r in Antiquity and a portion of your order will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Carolinas.

Just mention Big Day at the Lake to your server and the donation will go straight to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Big Day at the Lake, an 18-year tradition on Lake Norman, will be held on July 16 this year. Thanks to Boat Hosts, the event brings people together with a fun, all-day lake experience for at-risk children. (Boat Hosts and their families say it’s awesome, too.)

So far this year, more than $110,000 has been raised for BBBS. The picnic at Duke’s Energy Explorium is back this year as well.
