Class is in session!

In partnership with

Happy Tuesday and happy start of the school year, Firebirds Family! The Firebirds are highlighting our annual back-to-school shoe drive we hosted this past weekend! Additionally, we are putting the spotlight on an exciting community event taking place this weekend. Before we begin, let’s hear a word from today’s sponsor:

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest for $2.90/Share

Firebirds Shoe Drive was a Major Success!

Raleigh Firebirds back-to-school Shoe Drive! 👟 🔥 

The Firebirds hosted their annual shoe drive this past Saturday and it was a major success! We were able to provide the youth of Raleigh with new footwear to kick off their school year with a bang! Empowering our youth and our community is very important to our organization. These children are our future and being able to give back to them, and the Raleigh community as a whole, is one of biggest goals as a team.

Thank you to everyone who donated and help make this event possible!
