DID YOU KNOW:
..there's a critical need for blood? And did you know you may be eligible to help? The American Red Cross is in dire need of all blood types, and with your donation you can immediately help 3 people in need?

Did you also know, you can donate blood every 8 weeks?

Want to do more you ask? Platelets are also needed for patients seeking cancer treatment and can be donated every 7 days! These are insanely important as they need to be delivered within 5 days.

If you want to help fulfill this need, see https://www.redcrossblood.org/ for open appointments in your area.

I donated for the first time 2 weeks ago. It was a bit scary but ultimately a breeze. With the app, you can see exactly how you impact someone in need, I'll be back for platelets next week.

For a limited time, with a blood donation you may earn free movie tickets and with a platelet donation (for the first time) an Amazon gift card.

See you soon!

Blood donors report feeling a sense of great satisfaction after making their blood donation. Why? Because helping others in need just feels good. Donate blood today to help those in need.

👟 Something's stirring at CMYK?!?!... 🌟

Hey CMYK fam! 👋 It's been a while, hasn't it? The past few years year had us hitting pause, but guess what? We're feeling that familiar itch – the call of the pavement, the camaraderie, the thrill of something challenging.

Remember the 4/4/48 Challenge? The one where we pushed our limits and did something extraordinary together? Well, let's just say, summer vibes might be bringing back that CMYK spirit, in some way shape or form! 😉

Stay tuned for whispers of a comeback. Are you ready to embrace the challenge once more? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Through sport, we can help those in need, are you ready?

We are in a class of our own. Maybe we are age groupers, weekend warriors, first timers, millionth timers...we crave doing what it takes to go to our next level. We are CMYK.

Often it crosses our mind that we are lucky to have the opportunity to achieve

Today we completed our August 150 mile running challenge to raise money for St. Jude's. It was a rousing success, we exceeded our fundraising goal, and each of us hit 150 miles! We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated and supported us along the way, we are truly overwhelmed with the support we've received.

We are going into our last day of the CMYK Athletes August 150 Mile challenge...and we owe so much thanks to our support. Thank you so much to those who cheered us along and gave to our cause at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ! We have crushed our donation goal with your tremendous support (and we still have a little time left!). Check them out and see how you can help! For donation details, see:

We are very relieved to be at the end of this adventure. What seemed like a tough but doable task turned into quite the challenge. Life comes at you fast and doesn't let up! We were humbled...and very happy it's almost over!

Thank you and we hope to see you for the next challenge,

As you know, your CMYK Athletes are at it again. This time raising funds to support St. Jude's lifesaving mission of finding cures for children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and we need your help to reach our fundraising goal.
We have 8 days left, for our 150 Mile total mile challenge for the month of August! We pledge to run at least 150 miles starting August 1st - August 31st by 11:59:59pm. Just to clarify, all 3 of us will each run 150 miles (Johnny, Joe & Cameron)! As of this morning, the 3 of us, each have just 35-50 miles remaining to run (in 8 days), can we do it? We can, but we need your support. To get a boost, Cameron is going to match donations made August 24th and 25th (up to $100).
Follow us to see how you can view our progress, join in the journey, and donate to this wonderful cause!
How your donation helps:
- Thanks to you donors like you, no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
- Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
Join us! Together we can help St. Jude change the world.

Because you want to help cure childhood cancer.

I'm sorry that I have been quiet with this, but I have to start kicking in HARD!
CMYK is running to help raise funds to support St. Jude's lifesaving mission of finding cures for children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and we need your help to reach our fundraising goal.
I am having an issue creating my own page, but I am backing up Johnny & Joe. We are all going to run 150 miles in August. Please donate what you can:

CMYK spent the day volunteering at Ironman Musselman, we saw amazing athletes and worked with other great volunteers along Seneca Lake! We love giving back to the community, stay tuned for more CMYK events in the near future.

Hello Athletes!

We are actively seeking out volunteers for this weekend's Ironman 70.3 Musselman race! Come help out your fellow athletes with some run refreshments and cheer them on, it's quite a tough and fun day. We will also be featuring a cheer section outside of volunteering responsibilities, so bring your family & friends along with team spirit!

If you are interested in joining us, please sign up for Run Station 1&2. And be prepared to be on location early morning Sunday 7/11.

Please select Run Aid Station 1&2, from the link, which is located in the State park along the Lakeside Access Road. IRONMAN athletes go through a great deal of fluids and food in their quest to become an Ironman. Aid stations, where the athletes can obtain fluids and food while on the course, are an integral part of the race, and the spirit of an aid station reflects on the whole event. At the aid station, you will hand out Water, Gatorade, and food to athletes as they run by. This is a fast paced area! We ask that you stay until the Aid Station and area are packed up and cleaned up.

If you have any questions, feel free to write below or contact Johnny Young IV

VolunteerLocal has been empowering athletic competitions, community festivals, and non-profit events to success since 2003. We provide a self-service website to help volunteer coordinators do their job more effectively.

“We are tremendously saddened to learn of the passing of Boston Marathon icon Dick Hoyt. Dick personified what it means to be a Boston Marathoner, finishing 32 races with son Rick. We are keeping his many family & friends in our prayers. https://t.co/glau0ryh4R”
