Safety Recognition Program Reminder
A quick message from our Risk Management Team: Ben Galloway, Chris Shilts, and Jimmy Thomas
We’re excited to announce that 24 Hours of Booty is officially Bonitz’s 2026 Charity of Choice!
This cause hits close to home — everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. A family member. A friend. A coworker. Maybe even yourself. This ride is for them.
What’s 24 Hours of Booty?
A 24-hour, non-competitive cycling and walking event right here in Charlotte, NC that raises funds for cancer survivorship and navigation programs, providing real support for patients and their families. Every mile we move and every dollar we raise is in honor of those fighting, those who have fought, and those we’ve lost. It’s our way of standing beside them and reminding them they’re not alone. Let’s show up strong and make a real impact together. Join us on the Booty Loop or support from wherever you are—we’re grateful for you. Help us reach our goal and make a difference.

NAWIC Panel with Nicole Lyons
Charlotte, NC
Business Development Nicole Lyons spoke with passion about her experiences as a leader in male-dominated fields.

It was inspiring to hear from this panel of incredibly talented women, and to learn more about Nicole’s remarkable background in racing. She was the first Black woman to compete in the Top Sportsman and American Drag Racing League Top Sportsman classes, and she went on to make her mark in Outlaw Pro Mod, winning several events. In 2013, she began racing in the NASCAR Whelen Series, a points championship for short track racing. Safe to say, she is incredibly impressive, and we’re proud to have her on the Bonitz team.
