The first of many Racers and there family’s arrived at about 7am Saturday morning. They were greeted by my wife Jonette were she had prepared hot coffee and hot chocolate with pastries for them. We had drivers come as far away as Aiken, Spartanburg and Columbia SC. to help support this awesome cause. We had drivers from Atlanta area, Marietta, Loganville, Newman, Bethlehem, Lavonia and many other in Georgia and South Carolina.
We were able to collect 75 Toy’s from this event to help the children and families in the Madison County Ga area. We raised $135.00 Dollars that we will be purchasing hoodies and sweatshirts and other winter apparel with for the children in the area. We are working with Riverside Baptist church in Colbert Ga this year to help distribute the toys and clothing raised. Thanks to Allen Homer from the Riverside Baptist church with helping me with having a place to distribute the toys and clothing that we raised.
