When you purchase an event ticket, Wobble Island T-shirt, sticker, or raffle ticket, you're doing much more than buying merchandise—you're helping Wobble Island Inc. give back to the Lake Gaston community.
As a nonprofit organization, every event we host is designed to bring people together while raising funds for local charitable initiatives. Your support allows us to continue investing in scholarships, community programs, volunteer organizations, and families throughout the Lake Gaston region.
Every purchase truly makes a difference.
More Than an Event—It's a Community Tradition
Since Lake-A-Palooza was founded in 2014, our mission has remained the same: create memorable experiences while supporting worthwhile causes.
Today, Wobble Island hosts events that unite residents, visitors, businesses, and volunteers around a shared goal of strengthening our community. Whether you're attending Lake-A-Palooza, participating in the Poker Run, or joining one of our other fundraising events, you're helping continue that tradition of giving.
How Your Event Ticket Helps
Purchasing a ticket is one of the easiest ways to support Wobble Island's mission.
Every ticket sold helps us:
Fund community initiatives and charitable programs
Support local scholarships
Assist organizations serving the Lake Gaston area
Host family-friendly events that bring our community together
Expand our impact through future fundraising efforts
Your attendance helps create an event that benefits far more than those who are there on the day.
Why Raffles Matter
One of the most exciting parts of our events is the opportunity to win incredible prizes while supporting a great cause.
From golf cart raffles and 50/50 drawings to coolers of cheer, vacation packages, and other donated prizes, every raffle ticket purchased helps generate additional funds that go directly back into our charitable mission.
It's a fun way to give back—and you might even go home a winner.
Wear Your Support
Our Wobble Island T-shirts and stickers represent more than just great Lake Gaston merchandise.
They're a symbol of community pride.
Every shirt worn around the lake or sticker displayed on a boat, cooler, or vehicle helps spread awareness of Wobble Island's mission and encourages others to get involved. Merchandise sales also provide valuable funding that allows us to continue supporting local causes throughout the year.
Supporting the Lake Gaston Community
Because of generous supporters like you, Wobble Island has been able to give back to organizations and individuals throughout our region.
Our fundraising efforts have supported causes including:
Local college scholarships
Veterans
Volunteer fire departments
First responders
Child Protective Services
Local churches
Community Christmas programs
Children and families in need
Other charitable organizations throughout the Lake Gaston area
Every event helps us continue making a positive impact.
More Ways to Get Involved
Supporting Wobble Island doesn't stop after an event.
You can help by:
Attending our annual events
Purchasing event merchandise
Buying raffle tickets
Becoming an event sponsor
Volunteering your time
Sharing our events with family and friends
Every contribution—large or small—helps us continue serving the Lake Gaston community.
Thank You for Supporting Wobble Island
The success of Wobble Island Inc. isn't measured by the number of tickets sold or T-shirts purchased—it's measured by the lives we impact together.
