Early on a recent misty Saturday morning, Classy Living Society took to the trails of Kennesaw Mountain in Kennesaw, Georgia for a unity hike to benefit children with MS and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta! The hike was amazing and many of the CLS ladies proved themselves to be the weekend warriors they are by hiking to the very top of the mountain. What was even more amazing was the over 200 puzzles collected from our hikers that we will donate for the enjoyment of children ages 4-10.
When it comes to their growing bones and bodies, kids and teens need specialized orthopedic care. Where they are taken for treatment matters, and that’s where Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta comes in. The Orthopedics Program at Children’s Healthcare is the only nationally ranked pediatric program in Georgia and the top program in the Southeast. Parents trust Children’s Healthcare because they know their children will be cared for by one of the country’s leading pediatric orthopedic teams.
Not only did this event benefit the children, it promotes CLS’s Health, Fitness and Nutrition Initiative as we continue to emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle and continuation of personal fitness goals!
Finally, it was also the first event that CLS sisters wore their new T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase, “It’s the Volunteering for Me”, and matching buttons. The T-shirts and buttons will be worn at all future CLS events and is a new look for the organization. What’s more, it genuinely embodies the true character and mission of the organization…. It’s the Volunteering for Me! Now, that’s Classy!
This was a great opportunity to benefit the children and engage with my sisters. I was so overjoyed to see my sisters, that I considered the hike a bonus. So yes, “it’s the volunteering for me”?
Yes, it’s definitely the volunteering for me! To be able to be with my sisters and enjoy nature at its best, was a blessing. Supporting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta was icing on the cake! You just can’t beat giving and our sisterhood!
