Christian Freeman – “ Being a part of the Davis Love Foundation and the RSM Classic has shown me just how much charitable dollars can impact our community and changes lives of those involved with organizations who receive the dollars. Victory Board has allowed me to be involved in raising funds for the American Cancer Society and our local Cancer Care Center. This is so near to my heart as many family members of mine have fought cancer. Currently, my cousin Callie is fighting metastatic breast cancer and is a clinical trial to help shrink tumors on her bones. Watching her go through treatment has been tough but her spirit has always remained high. I am hopeful that through Victory Board, we are able to shine a light in a dark time for those going through a diagnosis and treatment and ease the financial burdens that come along with it.”
Riley Mattox – “ The local American Cancer Society Board has been involved in our community for over 50 years. This year, we hope to continue to raise funds for our local cancer patients. I became involved with this organization, because everyone knows somebody impacted by cancer. Right now, a childhood friend of mine, who residents on St. Simons Island, is battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. His story, like many others, illustrates how crucial it is that we continue to fight to find a cure for cancer.”
CC Hightower – “ After mentioning that I wanted to become more involved in giving back in our community, my friend Lexie Whatley recommended that I join the Victory Board and I’m so glad that she did! Not only do we have so much fun planning and attending numerous fundraisers throughout the year, but we’re able to see the dollars we raise be put to good use at our local cancer care center. Nearly every family I know has been impacted by cancer in some shape or form and I’m very proud to say that I’m a part of helping ease the financial burden for local families that are in the midst of some of the most challenging times they’ll ever face.”
Ally Haney – “ Everyone has been affected by cancer, and my granddaddy unfortunately was one of those who lost his fight with the horrible disease. I pray that through the funds we raise from Gala, we are able to make a difference for the patients and their families that are currently battling cancer.”
Claire Auffenberg– “It is safe to say that we all know someone who has battled cancer. We are fortunate to have a relationship with ACS and our local cancer center at Southeast Georgia Health Systems who we can support through the four events we host throughout the year, especially through our annual gala.”
