Explore the Pink Maze and Support Breast Cancer Awareness in Charlotte

Update Join the Fun for a Cause: Breast Cancer Shucks in Charlotte Get ready, Charlotte! Mark your calendars for October 25, 2025, as Historic Rural Hill transforms into a vibrant pink corn maze during the inaugural Breast Cancer Shucks event, celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From 6:30 PM to 10 PM, this unique event will highlight not just fun, but also community spirit and support for those impacted by breast cancer. A Night Packed with Activities In addition to navigating the pink labyrinth, attendees can enjoy live music from The Chain, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, tantalizing eats from local food trucks, and a crafted “Pink Brew” by Eleven Lakes Brewing. The iconic corn maze will be beautifully lit in pink, adding an enchanting touch to the evening. Community Support and Significance Kristen Hampton and Mellisa Wheeler, the co-founders of the event, communicate a message of hope and unity: “Every step through the maze helps shine a light—literally and figuratively—in the fight against breast cancer.” This disease affects one in eight women and even some men, making community support essential. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Go Jen Go Foundation, an organization that provides support to families facing financial challenges due to breast cancer. They currently assist over 105 families each month, covering essential expenses like housing and groceries during treatment times. Tickets and Participation Details Tickets to the Breast Cancer Shucks event are priced at $30 per person and include access to all activities throughout the night. Children aged five and under can join in for free. For those who already have regular night maze tickets, entry to the event will require an additional $10 fee. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own flashlights and headlamps to illuminate their path as they explore the maze. As Wheeler encouragingly stated, “Let’s bring together family, friends, and community to raise awareness, resources, and spirits on a night filled with light, laughter, music, memories, and more.” The Impact of the Go Jen Go Foundation The Go Jen Go Foundation is committed to providing critical financial support to more than 105 families each month in the Charlotte area. Their Patient Assistance Program covers everyday costs like utilities and food, helping families focus on recovery rather than financial strain.
