We had an amazing time at our 2nd Annual Jeepin’ for Our House Domestic Violence Jeep Ride fundraiser this past Saturday. We had a little over 30 Jeeps on the ride and at this time, we have raised over $7,000.00. We are still taking donations and selling our remaining T-shirts to try and raise more money for OHDVS. The planning for this event started months ago with a team of dedicated individuals. The hard work behind the scenes to get sponsors, plan out the event, design T-shirts, get red raffle prizes and so much more was evident in how smoothly the event went.

The Jeep Ride started at the Haralson County Sheriff’s Office and wound through the west side of Haralson and Polk Counties before ending at the Polk County Fairgrounds. We served lunch, fellowshipped and then conducted multiple raffle drawings. We appreciate everyone who came out to support such an amazing cause while bringing awareness to domestic violence.

We would like to thank our sponsors, Wayne Davis Concrete, R K Redding Construction, Fly and Form Concrete, Thrifttown Grocery, Coca Cola, A-1 White Bonding and Golden River Outfitters. We also appreciate Cedarstream for creating the amazing T-shirts and our many smaller sponsors who gave us such amazing red raffle prizes.

“I am so thankful that we have been able to have another great jeep ride to benefit Our House Domestic Violence Shelter”, states Sheriff Stacy Williams. “The need is great for Our House as they work to help these women and children who have had to leave their homes due to violence. We are so proud to do this fundraiser, and I am so pleased with the turnout and what we have raised. I am also proud of the team that worked so diligently behind the scenes. This is community helping community and it does not get much better than that.”
