CookiesforKidsCancer.org began from one woman’s fight against her child’s cancer.  Their website tells of their beginning: “Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a 501(c)3 non profit, was founded by parents inspired by their son Liam’s battle with cancer. They were shocked to learn that the main reason over 25% of kids diagnosed with cancer do not survive is because of a lack of effective therapies. And the reason for the lack of therapies was very simple: lack of funding. They pledged to support the development of new and better treatments by giving people a simple way to get involved.” 
Omega Sports has joined with Cookies for Kids Cancer. Your support and donations will help scientists and top pediatric oncologists at leading Pediatric Cancer Centers accelerate and deepen their investigation into new and less toxic therapies in an all out effort to save the lives of innocent children.
If you shop through the month of September at the following stores, including our Omega Sports - Park Road location on September 23rd, Cookies for Kids Cancer will get a portion of the proceeds from that day.  Click here to see a full calendar for the month of September.

Author David B. Morris and Sarah Fulcher, the subject of his book, Sarah’s Long Run, will be autographing copies of his book on July 23rd, at our Arboretum location, from 1-3pm.Catching up with Sarah Covington Fulcher hasn’t always been easy. That is because Fulcher, a NC-native, currently holds two Guiness World Records. One for being the first woman to run across Australia and the other for the longest continuous solo run by any individual. Hard to believe? That’s why there is a book about it! Join us on July 23rd, 1-3pm to meet her and the author and welcome them to their only Charlotte stop.

It was more than just a jog around the bases. On July 2, hundreds of runners from all over the Triangle gathered in the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for the first annual Blue Points 5k at the Ballpark: the first ever race that included downtown Durham’s baseball stadium and field as part of the course. Omega Sports and other local race partners made the day memorable for over 250 attendees and their families.  The event is part of the Blue Points 5k Race Series sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.  The next Blue Points 5k will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday, August 6th.  Come out and join the fun as we help kick off the Panthers football season with a certified 5k race and kids fun run.  For race details and registration, visit bcbsnc.com/5k.
