Talk about riding in style. The Isabella Santos Foundation is teaming up with the Charlotte Auto Show to host Kicks for Kids. The sixth annual event promises a luxury experience packed with handbags, heels, and horsepower — all meant to help families living with pediatric cancer.

  • When: Thursday, Nov. 21 | 8 a.m.-12 p.m.
  • Where: Charlotte Convention Center
  • Tickets: $75

Guests will exclusively browse luxury cars displayed on the floor of the Charlotte Auto Show during a complimentary brunch featuring bottomless mimosas and breakfast bites.
The event includes a raffle for dozens of new designer handbags — brands like Louis Vuitton, Versace, and Tom Ford. The big moment comes during the raffle for an 18-month lease on a 2025 Nissan Kicks S FWD.

Raffle tickets are available for anyone, even if they can’t attend in person.
Proceeds benefit the Isabella Santos Foundation’s mission to help families living and fighting rare pediatric cancers here in Charlotte.
