MISSION STATEMENT
We provide Peer-to-Peer fundraising for our non-profit partner(s) in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas who work directly with the community they serve.ABOUT US
I would like to give a special thank you to my grandmother Anne “Annie-B” Bonapart, may she Rest in Peace! My grandmother’s unconditional love, compassion, faith, self-discipline and dedication to her community taught me the intangibles of character and her priority on education was second to none
These intangibles that my grandmother mandated our family to achieve have become second nature now. The Queen City Holiday Classic is now presented to you as the brain child of Annie-B, with three main goals in mind. We plan to raise money and support our non-profit partners with Peer-to-Peer fundraising, volunteerism, and awareness. We also want to assist the student athlete with obtaining an athletic scholarship to an institution of higher learning. Our biggest goal is for all of our participants to obtain a degree so they can become contributing and productive members of society.

Thadius Bonapart, III, owner/president, I was born and raised in Charlotte, NC. I attended Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools from K-12 and I am a proud graduate of West Charlotte High School, class of 1993!
I attended college as a student-athlete with a full athletic scholarship and graduated from the prestigious University of Charleston with my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.
I also have 17+ years as an Educator and Entrepreneur and this combination has motivated and inspired, The Queen City Classics’, as a series of Peer-to-Peer fundraisers to empower local non-profit partners to impact Charlotte and surrounding areas based on their mission.

We also use basketball as a platform to generate awareness and funds for our Summer STEM Camp for a targeted group of under privileged Title 1 students throughout the city of Charlotte specifically in the Plaza Rd. /Milton Rd. /Shamrock Rd. corridors. This is our effort to derail the School to Prison Pipeline.
