Community and Cause

Race proceeds will go to a very special cause to our hearts. SayStrong Foundation is adopting a room permanently at the Ronald McDonald House Atlanta. The expenses involved in having a child in the hospital are countless, but this will give families who have children with medical needs a place to stay while their child is in the hospital.
