2024 Parrish "Ham" Womble Distinguished Service Award
​
Ham Womble, lived by a simple but powerful belief: if you have the ability to help, you do it. He believed that the strength of a community is measured not by its businesses, buildings, or growth, but by the kindness of its people.
Mark Campbell, Endurance Fence Solutions, LLC is the kind of person who sees every challenge as an opportunity to serve. He isn’t just a business owner—he is a friend, a neighbor, a mentor, and a leader who understands that true success isn’t about what you accomplish for yourself, but what you do for others.
Through Ainsley’s Angels and the Smile and Roll program, he has helped individuals with special needs experience the joy of crossing a finish line—something many of them never imagined possible.
Through Endurance Fence and Southwest Greens of Raleigh, he has built more than just fences—he has built a reputation for kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for those in need.
Mark’s acts of service extend far beyond his business. When a Vietnam veteran was approved for a service dog but couldn’t afford the fence required to bring his companion home, Mark stepped in—without hesitation, without question—because that’s just who he is.
When a mother recovering from surgery needed help, Mark made sure she had groceries on her table and a way for her children to get to school so she could rest and heal.
When a mother and her children were escaping domestic violence last Christmas, Mark connected with others to ensure they had a safe and joyful holiday.
He serves as a Rotarian, a board member, and a leader on the Executive Committee. He has volunteered for Autism Awareness Day with the Brady Valcho Autism Foundation and is on the leadership team for Launch Holly Springs, helping entrepreneurs chase their dreams.
Mark is not just a business leader—he is a safe place for so many in this town. People confide in him in their hardest moments, knowing that he will offer a listening ear, encouragement, and a helping hand.
