Join Our Team With The I Am A Father 5K In June!

Are You In For Joining The Decatur & East Atlanta Macaroni Kid

By Kimberly Wright - Publisher & Editor of Decatur and East Atlanta Macaroni Kid March 1, 2018

This one is for the special men in our life. You know the Dad’s and Father figures in our lives. So we are calling all Fathers, Dads, Daddys, Pops, Papas, and Bonus Dads to join us in a celebration of Fatherhood and strengthening families one mile at a time.  Fatherhood is such an important role and I want to encourage our community to enjoy and embrace every step of the way. I am inviting you to join our team with the I Am A Father 5K race on June 16th at the Porter Sanford Center in Decatur, Georgia. This race is near and dear to my heart because I have three very dear people waiting on kidneys and this race is all about celebrating Fatherhood, organ donation and complementary health testing for stokes, diabetes, heart attacks, obesity and more.


Our team name is Decatur & East Atlanta Macaroni Kid. We will rock this team out. Our team goal is 50 team members so please invite your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to join us.  My personal goal is 100 team members between Decatur Macaroni Kid and East Atlanta Macaroni Kid. We can do it in the biggest way. Start signing up now by clicking here. Register as an individual on the Decatur & East Atlanta Macaroni Kid team! To sweeten the pot the persons who recruits the most people for our team will get a $50 gift card from me so be sure to let me know via email who you recruited after they sign up.
