Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 294
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 11, join David and Callie Murray for a fundraiser at Lillian Webb Park from 8:30-11a! They're hosting The NorCrossFit Games to support Promise 686, a nonprofit that aids foster and adoptive families by providing adoption grants and care communities.
The event will feature 40 athletes in a challenging series of three CrossFit workouts, a free bouncy obstacle course for kids, and a delicious BBQ lunch from South End Smokehouse available from 11-12p.
The goal is to raise $11,000, symbolizing the 11,000 children in Georgia's foster care system, to help support these children in need. For those unable to attend, online donations are welcome. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Submit yourself / your family to be featured! Email a brief introduction and photo of you / your family to youngnorcross@gmail.com. Then show your “Meet Your Neighbor” feature to the team at Social Fox Brewing for a free round (this is the only feature that earns a free round)!
