Default Smokies gives back...

Smokies has donated $5,000 to Hiawassee, Ga Shop With a Hero program to benefit underprivileged children at the holidays.

On Thursday, 12/20, Mayur (haku) and I will take 2 GT cars to Hiawassee, GA. Two lucky kids will ride with us in the caravan to Wal Mart where we will be able to take underpriviliged kids shopping for the holidays.

Such a great group of people... And there is MUCH more holiday cheer coming on some other initiatives we've been working on. See the article below!

Nice to hear. Should be done more often, though it’s a bit tough to let your child go with a 911 and driver you haven’t vetted.
Beat of luck and drive like your Grandma is in the passenger seat.

I cannot tell you all how quickly the group comes together whenever there's been an issue to address. Sean and I are SO overwhelmed by everyone’s care and generosity that over the past few days a few tears of joy and appreciation have been shed.

Thank you ALL Smokies!
