The sweetest stroll in Charlotte will be back on Saturday, Oct. 4. The 5th Annual Pink Cupcake Walk & Breast Cancer Lap presented by Audi Charlotte will take place from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Truist Field – 324 S. Mint Street.
“The Pink Cupcake Walk is a truly special event filled with sweetness, smiles, and unforgettable moments,” said Susan Evren, executive director of Go Jen Go. “We are honored to be part of this annual celebration—lifting up breast cancer survivors and thrivers, supporting those in the fight, and remembering those we have lost. Grab your friends, family, and neighbors, and join us for a morning of love, community, and, of course, delicious cupcakes.”
In commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, participants will don pink attire (along with green and teal signifying metastatic breast cancer), walk one mile (four laps) around the baseball field, and receive a mini cupcake from a local bakery after each lap. Local bakeries include Kupkake Kouture Charlotte, Dream Cupcakes, Sunshine’s Southern Kitchen and Dariela’s Sweet Taste.
Breast cancer survivors, fighters and thrivers will also take a celebratory lap following the Pink Cupcake Walk. Participants who need mobility assistance are welcome to use their personal scooters or sit in the stands and have a volunteer collect their cupcakes.
Immediately following the event – which will be emceed by Molly Grantham – there will be an afterparty celebration with music, food and drinks. The cost to participate in the Pink Cupcake Walk is $40 per person. Participants must sign up by Sept. 10 to be guaranteed a 2025 Pink Cupcake Walk baseball jersey. A portion of the proceeds will support Go Jen Go. Register online at https://bit.ly/2025PinkCupcakeWalk.
