Amazing Race Champions

The Toys R Us crew participated in dominated Valdosta's Amazing Race this year.  This event is a fundraiser sponsored by the United Way of Valdosta.  Brian and four of his co-workers made up the team.  This group had to solve clues that led to eleven different locations around the city.  Once they arrived at a location, they had to complete a task.  Only after completing the task could they be given the clue to the next location.  The tasks ranged from painting ceiling tiles at the YMCA- to construction work at Habitat for Humanity- to sorting and folding uniforms at the Red Cross.  All of the locations that they visited were connected to the United Way.  The Toys R Us team was the first to come in (by a long shot), and was awarded the championship trophy.  I never doubted that the TRU crew would win.  They have fabulous teamwork at that store, and I knew that if even a fraction of that teamwork transferred to this event then the other teams wouldn't stand a chance.  Good job, guys!!
