We are delighted to announce our role as hosts for the second annual Headed for Hope 5K, dedicated to raising funds for brain tumor research, awareness, and patient support. This initiative aims to support the Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Education & Research Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization committed to advancing scientific research in the battle against brain tumors. Additionally, the foundation extends its philanthropic outreach to support patients of Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates and the broader community affected by brain tumors. Through this event, we invite our community to join hands with us, offering local engagement and sponsorship opportunities as we spearhead efforts to combat brain tumors.

The race will begin and finish at Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates' Charlotte Office on Baldwin Avenue, located in the heart of Midtown. Participants will run along a scenic course through one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of the Queen City.
