Cue Center holds Annual Pig Pickin’ Campaign

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Cue Center is a resource to help families try and locate their missing loved ones.

This weekend, they gave those same families a weekend to be able to take a break from the search and be able to enjoy time with others in similar situations.

Every year the Cue Center puts on its Pig Pickin’ campaign here in Wilmington to try and bring awareness to those who are missing or have unsolved homicide cases.

The event also offers families who have gone through so much an opportunity to be around people who have been or are currently in a similar situation to them.

The goal is to allow these families to have a day of free fun entertainment, good food and the ability to promote the faces of their loved one so that they may be found. Harriet Rivers, the mother of missing woman Ebonee Spears, just hopes the day brings about awareness.

“Hopefully people come out for the awareness, do their donations and support,” Harriet Rivers said. “Hopefully look at my daughter’s picture, memorize it and embed it in their brains in case somewhere they might see her.”

Spears’ family, along with others, help put on the campaign by having booths, providing the food and offering live entertainment for those who come to the event.

The founder of the Cue Center, Monica Caison hopes the event can raise public awareness to help these families get some answers.
