THE JEFF DROPO RUN 4 KIDS

Posted May 17, 2013     |    Tags:   TNT-CARES

For the past five years, TNT Fireworks has been honored to host the Jeff Dropo Run 4 Kids to benefit Camp Smile-A-Mile, a non-profit organization in Alabama for children who have or have had cancer. Held every second Saturday in May, this special fundraiser allows children to “just be kids” as they participate in fun activities and create unforgettable memories without worrying about pain, hospitals, shots, chemo, etc. All programs at this year-round camp are specifically adapted to meet the needs of children and young adults with cancer, along with providing special support for their families.

The idea for the race began as a loving remembrance of our extraordinary friend and co-worker, Jeff Dropo, who lost his courageous battle with cancer in 2008. Jeff’s warm smile and encouraging nature is still sorely missed by everyone at TNT. Sponsoring a run for children with cancer in Jeff’s name seemed the natural thing to do since his strength and spirit is an inspiration to everyone who knew him.

From the beginning, the Jeff Dropo Run 4 Kids has been an unqualified success! This year was the special fifth anniversary of the run and it surpassed all our expectations! Each year our goal is to send just 1 more child to Camp SAM. This year we were able to send 8 more to camp than last year! With the help of our TNT family, sponsors, and 225 runners (up from 195 last year), donations exceeded $50,000!

We want to offer special thanks and kudos to some wonderful people for their selfless contributions in making the JDR4K another triumph this year: Florence...

May is the Month for Fireworks!

It’s May already and we are getting more and more excited every day! Summer is just around the corner and you know what that means! At TNT, we are getting ready to launch our new line of fantastic products as well as our collection of your old favorites. We are positive this is going to be our best Fourth of July ever!

However, the wonderful thing about fireworks is you don’t have to wait until the Fourth to enjoy an evening of sparkling colorful entertainment. May is chock full of special days and events that call for celebration and fun. For instance, May 4 is the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby. Along with your fancy hats and mint juleps, you can visit our stores in Tennessee and Dayton to add to your Derby Day festivities. Viva la fiesta! Don’t forget, amigos, to get enough fireworks for Cinco de Mayo on May 5! Want to give Mom a gift on May 12 she will never forget? How about a one-of-a-kind Mother’s Day fireworks display just for her? And, of course, on May 27 we honor those who gave their all that we might have the liberty we so richly enjoy in America. Remember their sacrifice on Memorial Day with a backyard patriotic display.

Meanwhile, May is the month for sports! The NBA Playoffs are underway. Who are you rooting for? Baseball has kicked into high gear and it looks like there will be a lot of surprises during this season!

The French Open begins in a few weeks for all you tennis fans while the Soccer Cup Finals get underway at Wembley.

May is a marvelous month for merriment, festivities, parties, and remembrance. Check out our Find Your Fuse...
