various locations in Keswick Park, involving simple challenges in the

The
Chamblee Fun Mudder is open to the community and is appropriate for

which participants will complete the mud obstacles, but will run a
shorter course.
Early
bird registration: 5K-$20; 3K-$15 through March.
April

“The

Foundation to directly benefit the students of CMS,” said Amy
Granelli, President of the CMSEF. “Funds will be used to purchase
computer carts, support the outdoor classroom, seed-fund the
endowment, hire a Development Director to apply for grants, and in
many other ways to address school and student needs.”

consistent supporters of the schools in our area, recently funding
projects such as the Outdoor Classroom/Amphitheater at Ashford Park
Elementary and donating $30,000 to Montgomery Elementary School’s
STEAM initiative,” May said. “And their unwavering dedication in
supporting local education shows again, with their support of the
Chamblee Fun Mudder.”
In
addition to the Presenting Sponsorship, Ed Voyles Automotive is
donating a two-year lease on a 2015 Kia Sorento, which is expected to
raise another several thousand dollars in raffle tickets. Ed Voyle’s
