Go-Kart Race for the Cure 2025
Powered by an incredible community
The first Men Wear Pink Grand Prix was an experiment: could a bunch of local business owners in pink shirts fill a go-kart grid for the American Cancer Society? Twelve teams answered that question at T4 KartPlex Raceway.
It raised $4,868 from 29 donors, every named sponsor package sold, and nine trophies went home with people who are still talking about them. It is the reason the 2026 race doubled in size.
