Flashy show cars and happy feet brought smiles to little children and event organizers at the GSF Foundation Walk-a-Thon held Saturday, September 30. With a reputation for achieving high goals, the award winning Suffolk, Virginia Golden State Foods (GSF) Foundation Center once again pulled out the stops and raised over $5000. Several show cars added excitement as the walkers raised money. “Grandma’s Racer”, driven and owned by Anna & Collis Bryant (Cornerstone - Portsmouth, VA), shined brightly as the feature show car. Racing primarily in Virginia and North Carolina, the famed viper red car has competed in events as far north as New Jersey and as far south as Georgia. Sponsored by Cornerstone Systems, the car has been featured in issues of High Performance Mopar and Mopar Muscle magazines.

All proceeds from the walk-a-thon go directly to the GSF Foundation itself. The GSF foundation partners with local children's charities nominated by GSF employees. These selected organizations receive strategic financial assistance along with hours and hours of support from GSF volunteers. This hand-on help effectively serves children with various needs (food, shelter, clothes, medical treatment, social activities, etc.) and helps a variety of worthy organizations and individuals throughout the country (Special Olympics, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Shoes That Fit and more.) The Suffolk, VA Center has issued grants to the Ronald McDonald House, the Suffolk Children’s Center, the March of Dimes, the Food Banks Hot Meals program, the Edmark Hospice for Children and the Make a Wish Foundation.
