You Matter Movement

Yesterday went sent a team over to help support our friends Answering the Call at the Charity Volleyball tournament hosted by Asphaltic Surfaces LLC. We take a lot of pride in having the ability to be able to show up for other non profits and creating partnerships. In this world it takes everyone of us!!

Needless to say the boys need a little practice before their next appearance 🤣. They had fun and it was for a great cause. !!!

Be the reason someone smiles, especially when they are down or upside down in Jr’s case. Glad to see he was OK after his wreck. You never know where we will show up!

An anonymous person gave us some extra money for whatever award we choose and it was decided that it’d be a Hard Luck Award.

The Hard Luck Award recipient is Junior Parkinson following his nasty tumble down the back stretch.
