40 years ago it was 1983, and this year's 40 Over 40 winners were just getting started on their journey to greatness! Join The Charlotte Ledger and U.S. Bank as we go back in time to the 1980s to celebrate our winners!
Tickets include dinner from Plate Perfect Catering's yummy restaurants (Yafo, Mama Ricotta's and Paco's Tacos!), beer, wine, '80s music, and more! It will be a fun night honoring our amazing 40 Over 40 winners. (If you're looking for a snoozy country club awards dinner, this won't be it.)
See the list of the 2023 winners here!
Costume Contest: If you want to join in on the '80s movie theme (not required!) dress up as your favorite '80s movie character for a chance to win prizes! (If not, let's say the attire is [old-school] business casual.)
Huge thank you to our event sponsors: Presenting sponsor U.S. Bank and supporting sponsors Ducie Stark - Residential Real Estate Broker with Dickens Mitchener, Catapult, the Charlotte Museum of History and CLT Public Relations.
The 40 Over 40 Awards are brought to you by The Charlotte Ledger, a local media company that provides smart and relevant information and insights from experienced journalists.
This museum's collection of local artifacts gives a great sense of Charlotte's past, but kids are drawn more to the museum's "backyard." The American Freedom Bell, the largest bell at ground level in America, is a hit with kids, who love feeling its powerful vibrations with their hands. Wooded paths lead to the Hezekiah Alexander House, the oldest house in Mecklenburg County. Costumed docents provide a fascinating glimpse into eighteenth century life—kids love hearing about games and toys, but they are also squeamishly delighted to learn how hides were tanned with the animal's brains.
