The Ballin’ on Belrose fundraiser walk/race is taking place in Olde Towne Daphne on May 16. Registration opens at 7 a.m., and the race begins at 8 a.m. at Belrose Park on Belrose Avenue. It involves a race up Belrose Avenue and culminates in a street party complete with DJ music at the top and bottom of the hill, food and drinks, a kids’ play area, face painting, a cold plunge, photo opportunities and more. In addition, the event’s Nonprofit Challenge invites organizations across Baldwin County to rally their communities and compete based on participation. This year, the prize pool has expanded to $50,000 across five nonprofit winners: $15,000, $12,500, $10,000, $7,500 and $5,000 for first through fifth places, respectively. Belrose Avenue will be blocked off from 7 a.m. to noon on the day of the event. 68 Ventures and the Cox Family Foundation are again hosting this fifth-annual event, which will benefit the Baller Dream Foundation. The foundation team works to help local children and their families impacted by cancer by offering events to help raise their spirits and celebrate their lives. Regular registration is $25, nonprofit registration is $15, and donations are accepted.
