The Hendersonville Rotary Club sponsored the second annual “Red Sand Project” in Henderson County in 2023. In partnership with the Four Seasons Rotary Club and local nonprofits, the Hendersonville Rotary Club raises awareness in the community about the depths of modern day human slavery. According to The National Human Trafficking Hotline, North Carolina ranks 9th in the nation for reported cases. This annual event takes place in front of the Historic Henderson County Courthouse each summer. Participants are invited to fill cracks in the sidewalk with red sand.
