Fundraising Events
Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region has several exciting fundraising events throughout the year . Funds raised through these events allow us to make many of our programs available for free or at little cost to the public.
Soup on Sunday
In January each year, everyone in the community can come taste soups and breads from the region's finest restaurants. Also offered are flavored coffees from Starbucks on Seventh Street and Dilworth Coffee on East Boulevard. You can purchase your own unique bowl made by local potters, artists and students to taste all of the delicious soups! To see pictures from 2008 Soup on Sunday, click here.
Dash & Dine 5K
Hosted annually by Cantina 1511 and Mama Ricotta's, participants dash through the 5K route and dine on fabulous food after the race. It is a fun event for the whole family! To see pictures from the 2008 Dash & Dine 5K, click here.
Lake Norman Hospice Regatta and Party
Each year in May, Hospice & Palliative Care Lake Norman hosts a two-day sailing regatta along with a party to kick off the event. Funds raised directly support our mission of providing quality care to those with life-limiting and terminal illnesses.

Taste of Birkdale
Birkdale Village Restaurants in Huntersville, NC host a food and wine tasting benefit for Hospice & Palliative Care Lake Norman. Enjoy a summer evening with tasty treats in picturesque Birkdale!
Hit the Brixx
Brixx Wood Fired Pizza is the host of the annual Hit the Brixx event, a benefit for Kids Path Pediatric Care. Runners and walkers are encouraged to participate in this family-friendly event and support Kids Path. Hit the Brixx is part of the Grand Prix Series.
Historic Plaza Midwood Chantilly Chili Cook-Off
The month of October usually brings us cooler weather just in time to enter your own chili recipe at the annual chili-tasting event. Chili fans will vote for their favorite who will win the title of “Tasters Choice” (best overall chili). Gates open at noon (1318-D Central Avenue near Sammy’s Deli between CVS & Family Dollar) for this family-friendly event. If chili is not your thing, come for the ride-in bike show, bake sale, raffle and fellowship. For 2008, the bands lined up to “rock into the night” are: Belmont Playboys, Aqualads, Ghost Horse, Heywire, Rainwagon and many more.
Pedal the Park
Pedal the Park is our first self-paced cycling event benefitting the Levine & Dickson Hospice House. The 30-mile and 60-mile routes will take you through scenic Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Iredell counties. This event also includes a 1.8-mile family fun ride around the inner-loop of The Park-Huntersville for the casual cyclists.
Empty Bowl
Rising Sun Pottery, located in Lincolnton, is our host for the annual empty bowl event each October. Choose a soup bowl made by local potters, fill it with Potato Leek or Hearty Vegetable soup and enjoy! Join friends in the community, volunteers and staff from Hospice & Palliative Care Lincoln County, and sample the delicious soups and desserts made especially for Empty Bowl.
