Each year ConCarolinas hosts a charity auction for North Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association, a food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank, and a blood drive for the American Red Cross.

The Cabarrus County Library will be at ConCarolinas raising awareness of the summer reading program. Representatives from each group will be in attendance to celebrate this Guinness World Record Attempt. Charlotte artisit John Hairston Jr. will be donating a painting to the charity auction to commemorate the event.
