Daphne, Ala. – 68 Ventures and the Cox Family Foundation hosted the third annual Ballin’ on Belrose event in Olde Towne Daphne on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

$155,006         Amount raised for the Baller Dream Foundation

The Eastern Shore Repertory Theater (ESRT) is located in Olde Towne Daphne and has a mission to educate and train local students and present professional-quality theatre experiences for the Eastern Shore community. ESRT provides performance opportunities, summer camps, workshops and so much more to children of all ages throughout Baldwin and Mobile counties and presents two major productions every year.

Ballin’ on Belrose is a walk/run event inspired by the 29029 Everesting Challenge but adapted for the local community. It involves a race up Belrose Avenue and culminates in a street party at the top of the hill with refreshments, music and camaraderie.

“Our purpose at 68 Ventures is to see all we can do with all we have been given,” said Adam Campbell, 68 Ventures president. “Nathan Cox, our founder and Chairman, leads by example by demonstrating the power of what we can do to help others in this community. We are proud of our fantastic partnership with Baller Dream Foundation and working to help residents throughout Baldwin County.”

Title sponsors of the event included the City of Daphne, LOG Construction, Tower Homes, D.R. Horton, the Pilot Family, Press & Co., and the Cox Family Foundation.
