Description

The Kicks & Ties Gala, a beloved tradition first envisioned in 2013 by Akeem Hemingway, is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of style, unity, and hope for the Racepath community. This year, we’re bringing it back to raise much-needed funds for the Racepath Community Learning Center, an organization that provides vital resources and opportunities for children and families in Myrtle Beach’s underserved neighborhoods.

 
Event Highlights:

• Theme: A unique blend of elegance and creativity, where guests wear their favorite sneakers (“kicks”) paired with formal attire to symbolize individuality and togetherness.

• Evening Experience: Live music, inspiring performances, and a silent auction featuring unique items donated by generous supporters.

• Purpose: A heartfelt evening that brings us together to celebrate the resilience and potential of the Racepath community.
