Raising Funds to Benefit the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation, Participants Will Rappel Down 10 Stories at the Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown
Join the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation in building a better future for youth across the Charlotte community. The signature fundraising event, “Over the Edge Charlotte,” will host its fourth annual event on Wednesday, Oct. 5th from 11am-5pm. Rappelling 10 stories down the Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown, participants will raise funds for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization whose mission includes providing economically challenged students of all ages access to learning opportunities that harness the sport’s longstanding tradition of winning through innovation.
The Foundation works to ensure 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. The Foundation has secured 94% of its $125,000 fundraising goal for Over the Edge Charlotte 2022, with $117,690 raised from donations to date. Members of the Charlotte community interested in contributing to the cause can do so by supporting a registered rappeler or attending Over the Edge Charlotte festivities at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Plaza on Oct. 5.
