This year’s Cooper River Bridge Run runners have a new way to fuel up before the big race while also helping children in need. Halls Signature Events, a sister property of Halls Chophouse, is launching Fuel Up Friday, a healthy, pre-race bridge run feast to be held on Friday, April 1st at Halls Signature Events (5 Faber Street in downtown Charleston).
The Fuel Up Friday event supports Innersole, a nonprofit founded by The University of South Carolina's Women's Basketball Coach Dawn Staley that helps provide new athletic shoes for children in need.
“We're excited to partner with Coach Staley to help children in our community while also providing 2022 bridge runners with a fun, festive feast to fuel up before the big race,” said Tommy Hall, owner/CEO of Hall Management Group. “This event is the perfect fusion of food and philanthropy!”
Halls chefs are planning a healthy, carb-conscious menu including grass fed beef tips, bison tenderloin, vegetable quinoa pilaf, and wild salmon risotto with a mixologist whipping up smoothies, seasonal fruit cocktails, and mocktails. Guests will also be sent home with a house made energy bar to enjoy on race day.
Fuel Up Friday tickets are $45 for adults and $20 for kids 12 and under. To sweeten the deal, if you bring a new pair of athletic shoes for kids ages K-through-12 or donate more than $25 to Innersole, at this link, you'll be entered to win a basketball signed by Coach Staley and a $150 gift card to any of the Hall Management group restaurants across South Carolina. You do not have to be present to win.
“As an athlete, I know how crucial it is to eat properly before any sporting event,” said Coach Dawn Staley. “I also know a good pair of athletic shoes is a total game changer for a child. Fuel Up Friday is food for the body and sole. Our Innersole team is thrilled to be a part of this first ever event.”
