community talks Ray Peden & Team Members FROZEN FROGMAN 2018 by Rachel Mayan You know the saying – “when it rains, it pours,” and in the case of the 2018 Frozen Frogman, our participants, volunteers, and sponsors came out on January 28th in an outpour of generosity and enthusiasm for a great cause –The Travis Manion Foundation (TMF). With their help, we raised a whopping $33,571. Grandson & Grandfather, Brandon & Rick Holt As an entity, we really do believe in enhancing people’s lives while creating a sense of community, as our mission states. Supporting local organizations and building a sense of togetherness through fitness and giving is what drives these community events we hold. The Frozen Frogman is one we love because we get to support TMF, an organization that supports families of fallen heroes, and we also get to meet participants, HAC members and non, driven by the same passion for supporting others. The funds from this event will help TMF put on expeditions for survivors, an uplifting and cathartic experience. We cannot thank our sponsors, participants, and volunteers enough for their efforts this year – we couldn’t have done it without your support. Until next year!
