Food and Used shoe/clothing drive
Our can food and used clothing drive will benefit the Salvation Army and Active Faith of South Lyon. Please bring your used clothing, relatively old running shoes and food to packet pick up on Wed or Thurs morning. Last year we collected over 400 pounds of food alone. Thank you if you were one of the athletes that so generously donated.
Our Promise
The concept of Good Boy comes from our passion for events and the reason we do events…so we can be home more often to take care of our animals. The goal with Good Boy Events is to produce professional, safe, big time events for all to enjoy. Partial proceeds will benefit Animal Shelters around the Great Lakes State. We have donated over $180,000 cash, collected clothing, running shoes and non-perishables items during the past seven years for charity organizations.
