Description
The Pink Cupcake Walk & Breast Cancer Lap is back again this year in Uptown! You'll enjoy mini cupcakes from four bakeries while walking laps around Charlotte Knights Baseball Field. You'll be supporting our partner Go Jen Go, a non-profit that provides financial assistance to families in the greater Charlotte area who are facing the financial burden of breast cancer.
No matter what local breast cancer charities you like to support, we are inviting everyone to this central location to join in a unique celebration to lift up local Survivors, Thrivers, and Fighters. While supplies last - you can select your size in our 'Supporter' Jersey. We are sold out of our 'Survivor/ Thriver Jerseys' but still have sizes in our Supporter style. Jerseys are limited. If you can not select your size, we are sold out.
The Pink Cupcake Walk starts at 9:00am with gates to the field opening at 8:00am. Register today. Then, plan to join us at the baseball stadium in uptown on the first Saturday in October for four laps around the Charlotte Knight's baseball field. As you make each lap, stop at a different local bakery for a delicious mini-cupcake. Molly Grantham will be our emcee, as well as upbeat music to help us cheer on breast cancer Survivors, Fighters, and Thrivers. Participants will receive: the 2024 Pink Cupcake #TeamMolly baseball jersey, four mini cupcakes, and emails from Molly Grantham with updates and profiles on remarkable breast cancer Survivors, Thrivers, and Fighters in our community. All registered participants are automatically on #TeamMolly. We invite you and your friends to still form a social team if you’d like to also have your own group name and crew!
Thank you to our current local bakeries: Kupkake Kouture, Dream Cupcakes, Sunshine's Southern Kitchen, and Dariela's Sweet Taste
A portion of your registration fee goes to Go Jen Go but additional donations provide critical financial support to local breast cancer patients. See the donate tab for more info. At $50 or above, you'll receive coins to use for food and beverage at the October 5th Mecklenburg Oktoberfest. This event is produced by Taste of Charlotte and will be at Knights Baseball Field, immediately following our walk.
Follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updates on jerseys and other info.
Dogs & Strollers
You may bring a stroller. You will need to use the elevator to get down to the field. Wait time for elevator may be long.
We love dogs but this year we CAN NOT have pets at the event nor on the field for the walk. Please plan to leave your furry friends at home.
