Joey Carter Foundation Memorial Golf Scramble

July 29, 2009 in Uncategorized

jcf-flyerDerby City CrossFit is friends with the Joey Carter Foundation.  The Joey Carter Foundation is hosting a scramble on August 22nd to raise money for Scholarships to help local kids, “Get a Leg Up” in their education.  If you would like to participate or sponsor a hole it would be much appreciated.  $100 per hole sponsorship or $60 per person for the golf or $240 per team to play.  Please contact Gary Carter at 5029356532 or us here at Derby City CrossFit 5026439490 or info@dccrossfit.com

On a side note this Foundation is for my brother, so obviously we are going to sponsor it.  My brother died about 6 years ago, due to contact with electricity behind our home.  Joey was a monster, in a sense that he was 6’5″ 300lbs, probably had more potential to be the best  than anyone I’ve ever met.  He was competitive but kind of a wuss sometimes.  Joey had a natural strength and a big heart.  Everyone who had the opportunity to get to know him felt lucky to have had that time to meet someone very special.  He will always be missed and never be forgotten.

I love you, Bro!
