More than a hill. More than a race. A community showing up.
Every May, hundreds of people climb the same stretch of Belrose Avenue in Daphne—for something bigger than themselves. That something is the Baller Dream Foundation—providing life-changing experiences for children and young adults battling cancer—and $50,000 in prizes for Baldwin County nonprofits serving the neighbors we call home.
“To whom much is given, much is required. Ballin’ on Belrose is what that looks like when a community decides to live that out together.” — Nathan Cox, Founder & Chairman, 68 Ventures
Now in its fifth year, we’re inviting sponsors who believe in what this community can do. In 2025, the event drew 400+ participants, 90 sponsors, and raised over $259,000. The 2026 Ballin’ on Belrose will set a new standard. Somewhere there is a child fighting cancer who will never know your name. In Baldwin County, a family is facing a challenge they didn’t choose and can’t face along. This is our opportunity to show up for them. Join us on Belrose.
Every Step on Belrose Impacts a Life
The Baller Dream Foundation exists to give children and young adults fighting cancer moments of joy, hope, and connection. Every dollar raised at Ballin’ on Belrose makes that possible. Through the Nonprofit Challenge, Baldwin County organizations compete to climb, rally their communities, and win—bringing real funding home. This year’s prize pool has grown to $50,000, distributed across five organizations: $15,000 for first place, $12,500 for second, $10,000 for third, $7,500 for fourth, and $5,000 for fifth.
