Jesse Brown’s Outdoors is always looking for ways to get involved in the community and the Over the Edge Event organized by the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation allowed us to do so! Bill Bartee, Owner of Jesse Brown’s and Co-Host of the Carolina Outdoors Podcast and Wes Lawson, General Manager of Jesse Brown’s and the other Co-Host of the Carolina Outdoors Podcast signed up to rappel 100 feet off a building to help build a better future for kids in our Charlotte community.
The funds raised through rappelling went towards the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization whose mission includes providing economically challenged students (pre-K through 12th grade) access to learning opportunities. The Foundation works to ensure those students have a competitive edge that best equips them for life and drives their future success. Every $20 donation brings a child into the NASCAR Hall of Fame for a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience.
On October 5th, Bill and Wes put aside their fears and did exactly what they said they would do: rappelled 10 stories down the Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown. We could not of been “a hero for the kids” without the Foundation, Over the Edge, and those that donated to the cause!
