As of press time, the event raised more than $12,000, which benefits the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, a nonprofit on a mission to end the challenges of childhood brain tumors.

Founders of Hunter’s Helping Hands, Jennifer and Brian Duke, lost their daughter, Hunter, to a childhood brain tumor at age 5. Hunter’s photo display at the event served as reminder of the day – work toward a cure for the kids.

Activities ranged from “Touch a Truck,” organized by the Woodstock Fire Department, to monster water balls, waterproof balls – large enough for adults to go inside and “walk on water”,  and bouncy houses. Jake Moss Productions provided music, with a live performance by the Celebrate Recovery Band. 

Volunteers came from Kohls, Target, the Atlanta Ride for Kids Task Force, and friends of the cause.
