This past week, Excel families once again showed their generosity by sponsoring 6 different families across 2 different sites. On Saturday, just a couple of days before Christmas, the Brentwood families donated and delivered gifts to 5 Franklin families who we connected with through Franktown Open Hearts. While each delivery was unique, our own team of Santas all reported back that the experience was amazing and that the gifts were received with grateful hearts. In addition, we have been connected with a single mom of a 4 month old girl....

This past weekend saw Excel swimming in three different meets. First up, the Fred Lamback Para Meet in Cumming, GA where we had Emme Perry and Josh Strachan competing.
