The Augusta Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACVB) is hosting the Chevrolet Fireball Run Adventurally at Enterprise Mill Tuesday, Sept. 27 from approximately 12-2. Forty teams including NASCAR driver Geoff Bodine, NASA shuttle astronaut Winston Scott, and actor/activist Kevyn Major Howard (Full Metal Jacket) are competing in a 2500 mile, 8-day adventure to raise awareness about missing children.
Each team will arrive and depart Enterprise Mill at its own pace between 12:30-2:30. While at the Mill, they will compete in a disc golf challenge in the courtyard. The details aren't set yet, but I'll most likely set up a short 3-5 hole course and throw in a putting game at the end. The team with the lowest score wins a mock Green Jacket.
This event is free and open to the public and is supposed to be broadcast live on the Internet. Sounds like fun! I of course will be rooting for Team Bumblebee.
The Fireball Run’s Race to Recover America’s Missing Children is the largest active recovery effort for missing and exploited children in the country. Each team is assigned a child from their home region along with thousands of posters to distribute along the route. A decal featuring the child is affixed to the vehicle, creating a rolling milk carton. To date, the effort has assisted in the recovery of 36 missing children.
