The 40 Over 40 Awards
Charlotte is full of people quietly making our community stronger — leading businesses, supporting nonprofits, improving healthcare and education and giving back in ways that make this city better.
Each year, The Charlotte Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Awards shines a spotlight on some of those remarkable people.
Now in its seventh year, the event celebrates leaders aged 40+ whose work and leadership continue to shape the future of Charlotte — and you’re invited to join us for the celebration.
This isn’t your typical awards banquet. The 40 Over 40 Awards is a fun, energetic evening where Charlotte’s business and community leaders come together to celebrate the people helping move our city forward. It’s an honest celebration, and we work to keep the ticket prices reasonable.
🎟 Tickets are on sale starting TODAY. Grab an early-bird ticket and save $5.
Coming soon: Our panel of independent judges is wrapping up selections now, and we’ll announce the winners later this month. (We revealed the nominees last month.) If you want to secure your spot at the best price, now’s the time.
This celebration wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous sponsors:
Title Sponsor: U.S. Bank
Silver Sponsor: Waste Connections
Name Tag Sponsor: AC Creative Collective
Supporting Sponsor: Charlotte ToolBank
(Sponsorships are still available — contact [email protected] if interested.)
We hope to see you there for a great night celebrating the people who help make Charlotte what it is.
