Here are the TOP 5 ways I need your help!

1. Sign up to volunteer!
   1. Even if you are signed up to run, you can sign up for setup and/or clean-up! 
   2. Don't want to walk or run the 5k? Perfect, because we need you too!
2. Fundraise or DONATE!
   1. Can’t go to the event but still want to be involved? Click HERE to donate!
   2. If you are already signed up OR signed up as a supporter, you can share your fundraising team page with your network (social media and email work great).
   3. Start a fundraiser for your 5K team to raise dollars for the cause!
3. Don’t wait to REGISTER!
   1. By signing up earlier than the “last minute” surge of registrants the week of the raise, we can better plan for the event to make it a success--it only takes 4 minutes! 
4. You’re invited to attend one of our TWO Brady the Brain mascot community pop-ups during race week!
   1. Monday, September 18th, 6:00-7:30 pm – Trolly Barn Fermentory & Food Hall – 2104 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28203
      1. Brady the Brain will make his FIRST community appearance for the BarnBurners Run Club. You can run with the club (all paces welcome) or just come to hang out and support! We will have a vendor booth and bring our backdrop for mascot photo ops!
   2. Thursday, September 21st, 6:00-7:30 pm – Triple C Brewing -- 2900 Griffith St., Charlotte, NC 28203
      1. Brady the Brain will make his SECOND community appearance for the Triple C Beer Runners Club. You can run with the club (all paces welcome) or just come to hang out and support! We will have a vendor booth and bring our backdrop for mascot photo ops!
5. This one’s easy—SHARE ON SOCIAL!
   1. Visit ANY of our social channels and share a post or story about the race with your community/network, asking them to donate, register, or spread the word! Click HERE to share our FB event.

And in case you were curious.....check out how the 5K momentum is building:

• We have FOUR media interviews scheduled featuring our 5K patient champions and their CNSA physicians to showcase the WHY for our 5K! Stay tuned for more details so you can catch the segments on CN2, WRHI Radio, and the QC Life WBTV show!
•  We have raised a NET profit of over 23k so far! WOW. And we aren't close to done.
• We have 247 participants registered and counting. Race stats say this number could close to DOUBLE by race day!
• We have 33 volunteers and counting....but we need around 60+ for this large of an event, so please consider volunteering as your contribution to the cause!

We are overwhelmed by the support from our local community for this newly branded first-year race. Thanks for rolling up your sleeves with us to show up for the Brain Tumor community.
