A sold-out crowd, star-studded runway and an evening dedicated to celebrating courage, hope and joy is set for the 16th annual Cook Out Catwalk for Causes on Tuesday, Oct. 6, at Ten Tenths Motor Club. Hosted by Speedway Children’s Charities (SCC), the event will bring together some of the biggest names in NASCAR along with NFL stars and community leaders for one unforgettable night benefiting children and families across the Carolinas.
SCC is proud to partner with The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund, Kyle Larson Foundation, Joey Logano Foundation and Greg Olsen’s HEARTest Yard to celebrate the children and families at the heart of each organization’s mission. Each organization is proud to continue supporting SherryStrong by donating a portion of their proceeds from the night.
The real stars of the night will be the 11 Catwalk Champions who will be paired with celebrity partners and dressed in outfits selected by each child courtesy of Belk before making their runway debut. More than a fashion moment, the Catwalk offers an opportunity to celebrate each child’s unique personality, strength and journey.
