We’re thrilled to host the Coach English Trail Run, a heartfelt event that honors the memory of Coach Brandon English. On March 30th, 2024, at Blankets Creek Park,
participants will tackle a scenic 3-mile(ish) trail run. But it’s more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community, camaraderie, and commitment.
After Race Festival Events:
Live Music: Groove to the rhythm as you conquer the trails.
Fire Pits: Gather ’round the warmth and share stories and make S’mores.
Food and Drinks: Fuel up with delicious treats from Kona Ice and Community BBQ
Push-Up Challenge: Every race entry includes free entry into this fun challenge. Big prizes to the winners!

The Cause:
Proceeds from the Coach English Trail Run will support two vital initiatives:
The Coach English Scholarship: An annual scholarship in Coach English’s name, benefiting a Cherokee County High School graduate pursuing a degree in Physical Education or a health-related field.
The Varsity Jacket Program: Ensuring that every student-athlete, regardless of financial circumstances, can proudly wear their varsity jacket.
Mark your calendars, lace up your shoes, and let’s run for a purpose. Together, we’ll ignite the spirit of community and make a lasting impact!
Annual Christmas Tree Burn
and Chili Cookoff
Every year, our community comes together for an unforgettable event—the Christmas Tree Burn and Chili Cookoff. This year, we gathered 800 trees to fuel a roaring fire that
warmed our hearts and raised funds for the Building Fires Varsity Jacket program. As live music filled the air, families and friends huddled around a huge firepit, sharing stories
and laughter. Not one, but three burn piles illuminated the night, symbolizing our commitment to supporting student-athletes. And as the flames danced, the aroma of
simmering chili wafted through the crowd. It’s more than an event; it’s a tradition that ignites community spirit and pride. Join us next year as we continue to build brighter
futures!
PICKLEBALL WITH A PURPOSE
Join us on April 19, 2025, for Pickleball with a Purpose—a dynamic event hosted by three local non-profit Organizations listed below. This all-day event will take place on 10 courts and feature a round-robin format, with advanced players competing in the morning session and leading to a ‘Beat the Pro Challenge’ for the top 16 points getters. Additionally, amateur players will have their own afternoon matches, and attendees can participate in a ‘Drills and Skills’ workshop with the pros. The event will take place at the amazing Bridgemill Tennis Center in Canton, GA.
We invite businesses and individuals to support this cause by becoming an event sponsor. Your contribution will help make a meaningful impact in our community while gaining valuable recognition.
