Be a Hero for Kids

Calling all thrill seekers, community advocates and everyday heroes!

You’re invited to take part in the fourth annual Over the Edge Charlotte – a signature fundraising event for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation. Join us as we work to give students in our community facing economic disadvantages a competitive edge.

The first 75 individual fundraisers to raise a minimum of $1,000 will earn a spot to go Over the Edge! Click here to sign up.

When: October 5, 2022 starting at 10

Who: We’re looking for “Edgers” of all ages and abilities – all you need is enough bravery to take that first step “Over the Edge” for a great cause.

What: Get ready to catch your breath, step up to the edge and rappel 10 stories down the Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown. Food trucks will arrive at 10:15 a.m.

Why: The funds raised will go toward the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization whose mission includes providing economically disadvantaged students (pre-K through 12th grade) access to learning opportunities that harness our sport’s longstanding tradition of winning through innovation. The Foundation works to ensure those students have a competitive edge that best equips them for life and drives their future success. Every $20 donation brings a child into the NASCAR Hall of Fame for a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience.

Non-rappelers are invited to join participants in support of the cause and share in the fun. Day-of activities on the NASCAR Hall of Fame Plaza include:

• All day live DJ entertainment
• Meals and snacks available for purchase at food trucks including Wacky Spanky, Soul to Bowl and La Patrona
• Complimentary treats from Tiff’s Treats starting at noon
• Live demonstrations of family-friendly activities with a racing-themed curriculum
• A photo opportunity with a Hendrick Motorsports show car
• Visit with Jesse Brown’s Outdoors and learn about the intriguing sport of fly fishing, experience hands-on casting demonstrations, and gather information on angling trips and services
