Registration for 24 Foundation’s signature fundraiser – the 23rd Season of 24 Hours of Booty charity non-competitive cycling and walking event – is now open.
This year’s 24 Hours of Booty presented by Levine Cancer Institute will take place from 7 p.m. Friday, July 26 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 27 on the “Booty Loop” in Charlotte’s Myers Park neighborhood.
Participants who register to walk or ride a bike in 24 Hours of Booty between March 21 and 11:59PM on March 24 will receive 24% off their registration with discount code REG24.
“Help us make our twenty-third year of 24 Hours of Booty the best yet by participating as a bike rider, walker, volunteer or sponsor to help change the course of cancer,” said Katherine Murphy, executive director of 24 Foundation. “We look forward to bringing our community together to ride, stride and enjoy a celebration of hope, healing and connecting for all those impacted by cancer.”
All cycling and walking participants must register (individually or with a team) online at 24foundation.org. The following are the registration and fundraising requirements:
- Adult Riders/Walkers (18 and up): Pay a $75 registration fee and raise a minimum of $400
- Youth Riders/Walkers (ages 12-17): Pay a $75 registration fee and raise a minimum of $200
- Child Riders (ages 8-11) and Walkers (ages 4-11): Pay a $50 registration fee and raise a minimum of $50
- Virtual “UnLooped” registration is $45 for adults and $25 for children (11 and under); there is no fundraising minimum
Registered in-person participants receive the following: online fundraising tools, access to templates and fundraising ideas, fundraising level incentives, an event T-shirt, full bike and medical support, entertainment, as well as meals, snacks and drinks throughout the event.
24 Hours of Booty is not a race or an endurance event. Riders and Walkers can set their own mileage goals and get on and off the police-secured course as much as they would like throughout the 24 hours. Child riders (ages 8-11) are permitted on the course during the Survivor Lap (with a parent or guardian) and from 12-7 p.m. on Saturday, July 27.
Myers Park Traditional School and Queens University of Charlotte will again serve as home to the event headquarters – known as “Bootyville” – where participants camp, eat and recharge when not out on the course.
In the past 23 years, 24 Foundation event participants have raised more than $27 million to support local and national cancer navigation and survivorship programs and services. Local cancer beneficiaries include Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute and Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, and several other organizations that are committed to helping those affected by cancer survive and thrive throughout their cancer journey and beyond.
