This race is one of the most well known running events in the Charlotte area.  We generally see some 3000 runners and walkers scattered among the streets of uptown Charlotte.  This race is unique because it is conducted in the evening as opposed to being in the early morning.  It is truly an all out good time, entertainment, food, fellowship, and lastly it supports a good cause.  Keep your eyes open for race details and registration information.

Please mark your calendar for Right Moves for Youth's 16th Annual Twilight 5K Road Race and Walk to be held FRIDAY, MAY 11, 2012 at the Wachovia Atrium in Uptown Charlotte.

March Madness Tournament

To play you must pay.  This is the very concept that motivates many of the youth in our program.  Students who are improving their attendance, behavior, and academic performance are rewarded.  Achievement is recognized by providing students opportunities to participate in cultural and athletic events.

The most anticipated arch Madness competition.  This event gives our youth the chance to compete in stepping, cheerleading, and basketball.  This event is a reward for youth who strive for excellence, and is supported by Antawn Jamision. 

Antawn Jamison is a NBA standout and Charlotte native, he sponsors this event every year as part of his "A Better Tomorrow" campaign.  More information on this initiative can be found at www.antawnjamison.com.  More to come soon on the date of next year's event.
