Have you ever felt like plunging into a gigantic pool of gelatin?

Not only can you see them do it – - you can join them and do it too!
HOW IT WORKS:

Gianna’s Birthday FUNdraiser!
March 11, 2013 in general, news from us
For the second year in a row, young philanthropist Gianna leveraged her birthday party to raise funds for the Children's Cancer Center!
A year ago, Gianna had heard that a fellow student in her school, Trinity School For Children, was battling childhood cancer and she wanted to do something to help.
Gianna asks that in lieu of presents, all guests make a donation to the Children's Cancer Center.
This year she raised $610, making her two year total nearly $1400!!!
Gianna is a wonderful role model and we thank her – and all her birtdhay guests – for caring so much for their fellow students and our families!

Now here's a story with some muscle…!
As well as the biggest muscles we've ever seen, our very good friends, Dan & Nicole Long of Kill Mode Training, also have the biggest hearts!
Last week, Dan made one of his periodic visits to the CCC. And with the big guy? An equally big check for $1300.
I guess you can say it's just how they roll….
The donation was raised at a recent holiday party that Dan & his lovely wife Nicole threw for family, friends and colleagues.
THANK YOU KILL MODE! It just goes to prove that with a healthy body comes a healthy soul.
