Memorial Day Weekend!

This past weekend was action-packed!

We spent Saturday at Tractor Supply Co. in Canton, Georgia, giving out free hot dogs and accepting donations.  The turn out was terrific, and our grillmaster, John Hudson, made more than 75 hot dogs!

On Sunday and Monday, we helped run our inaugural cycling event – a bike ride that spanned the Silver Comet Trail from Hiram to Anniston.

The “long route” cyclists started in Hiram at Cycology Bike Shop.  The “short route” cyclists began in Rockmart.

You know… neither route was “short.”  You rode 90 miles the first day, or 75 miles the first day.

We stayed with 30 cyclists in Jacksonville, Alabama, and had dinner and gave out door prizes.  The next morning, we had breakfast at the hotel and then headed back home – another 60+ miles for each group.

It was a great event, and over $2000 was raised in the name of kids and cycling!

Atlanta Budokan: Kids Falling for Others

These kids ROCK!

Today, kids at Atlanta Budokan had 30 minutes to do as many “falls” as possible.  They split up into groups of 3, and took turns showing various techniques and practicing taking down each other.

Friends and family had pledged to them to see how many falls they could do.

Can you please that over $1200 was fundraised, with more on the way?!  All of this money goes to help kids play the sports they love – more specifically, martial arts at Atlanta Budokan.

Atlanta Budokan has two dojos in Cobb County, and works closely with local schools in the area to offer scholarships to kids in need.  This will go a long way to changing kids’ lives.

Way to go, kids!
