Charlotte Ronald McDonald House Holding NASCAR-Themed Benefit at Hall of Fame

This month's big charity night at the NASCAR Hall of Fame will mix racing thrills with giving back. The Ronald McDonald House of Greater Charlotte picked "Jerseys & Jewels: Start Your Engines" as the theme for their Oct. 18 bash.

From 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., guests will mix museum fun with good deeds. The night mixes casual and classy: think sports gear meets sparkle. Racing exhibits, quiet bidding wars, and bands fill the evening's lineup.

"The event raises money to support the charity's mission of keeping families close to their children when they are receiving medical treatment at local children's hospital," officials said per WBTV.

As their top money-maker of the year, this night packs special touches. Guests can craft one-of-a-kind trucker caps between bites from food stops spread through the space.

Find the fun at East Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard in Uptown Charlotte. Skip the parking hassle: catch the light rail or book a ride share to the spot.
