Big Chef/ Little Chef

Well first, let me start by saying thank you to everyone who continues to support us here at Louie’s Kids.  This summer has been unbelievable for us.  It is hard to believe the school is only a few days away now.  This summer, we continued to have our Saturday activities and it has been great out at Mitchell Elementary.  We’ve done a lot walking, swimming, some water aerobics, some yoga, self defense, and even a little conquering of the bridge.  We’ve had a few great fundraisers this summer too starting with being apart of a display at the Civic Design Center with some other local non-Profits.   As part of this display, we were given the opportunity to use the Civic Design as we saw fit.  So Louie’s Kids held a magical event there known as Big Chef/ Little Chef.  We matched up Charleston’s Best Chef with four of our participants.  It was so amazing watching all the action unfold.

We also competed in the Daniel Island Kids Triathlon.  We had three of our Fit Clubbers out there who trained in all three areas of swimming, biking, and running.  Not only did we compete, but we ended up having one of our Fit Clubbers take home a third place finish in her age group.  That was a great surprise for us that day!  A special thanks goes out to TrySports.

Looking ahead we’ve got a lot going on.  First, is our upcoming launch at Haut Gap Middle School out on John’s Island.  We’ve been preparing for this one all summer long.  Next we’ve got some big fundraisers coming up including the Yoga Marathon and a Halloween fun run.  Keep your eyes on the look out as we prepare and get things moving forward with all this stuff.  It’s going to be a great upcoming year for us here at Louie’s Kids.  We can’t thank you enough to all who continue to support us not only financially but all those who send us encourage hope and prayers.  We’re continuing to spread our message and we are always looking for volunteers who are as passionate as we are.

We’ve also been blessed by Charleston Magazine and they recently published a profile in support of Louie’s Kids.  What a wonderful honor once again reminding us how blessed we really are!.  The link can be found here.  Also check out the PGA link on our home page.

Stay tuned for more.  We’re only getting started as this school year approaches.
