In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our hearts remain with the affected communities, especially here in North Carolina, where so many of us call home and share meaningful connections. Our team, led by the efforts of our owner, initially donated $1 million to kickstart recovery efforts, knowing that rebuilding will take time and continued support. The devastation has been immense, but together, we are committed to helping those in need.

To date, we’ve donated $500,000 each to the NC Disaster Relief Fund and Second Harvest of Metrolina to aid in providing both immediate relief and long-term support. However, the need remains urgent, and we invite our community and others across the country to join us in these efforts. If you're local, you can drop off donations at our headquarters at 12311 Airspeed Drive, Huntersville, NC, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you're not nearby but still want to help, monetary donations can be made directly to the NC Disaster Relief Fund or Second Harvest of Metrolina.

This effort embodies what Forward Together means to us—whether on or off the track, we believe in uniting. We will continue to support our neighbors and the community in their time of need. Every contribution helps as we continue working toward recovery and rebuilding stronger than ever.

All donations are welcome, but we are looking particularly to provide the following items at this time. As needs shift, we will continue to update this list.
