Good morning, Wake Forest.

Carolina Hurricanes players support the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina's Goal to End Hunger Challenge as local need rises and the team heads into its first Stanley Cup Final in 20 years; the campaign seeks $25,000 to help offset rising grocery + fuel expenses.

A Carolina Hurricanes fan lost $1,000 after buying what she thought were verified Stanley Cup Final tickets from a Facebook group, but she never received the tickets as the scammer absconded with the funds (the alleged administrator’s profile was later deleted).

Wake Forest Renaissance Centre will host America’s Sweethearts on Wednesday, July 1 at 7:30 p.m. to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday; tickets can be purchased online, in person at the RC Box Office (919-435-9458), or by phone.

NC Secretary of State warned Hurricanes fans on Tuesday, June 2 about counterfeit merchandise that could appear online and near arena areas.

Buyers should check the price, packaging, and seller details — official outlets offer the safest option.

The Carolina Hurricanes reached the Stanley Cup Final and will play Game 2 on Thursday, June 4 at 8:00 p.m. on ABC11, while fans in Wake Forest can send photos, videos, or messages to show their Canes spirit.
