As you know by now, Jacob is extremely community oriented. He is always looking for a way to reach out, volunteer or engage in parts of his community and grow that community. We fundraise throughout the year by sponsoring events as well as bringing light to events that are going on in our community. This is something that is important to Jacob because it gets him involved in a different way!
Right now we are trying to raise money for the LAMB 5K Run/Walk 2018– this is the 4th year that the LAMB foundation has held this event which raises money for students who have intellectual disabilities in schools around the Mooresville/Troutman area of North Carolina.
