Gorilla Challenge features the Drop-In-Center for a fun day in LB!

 Loves

The Gorilla Challenge, an Amazing Race Style event came to Long Beach on Saturday November 12. In each city they feature a local non-profit and in Long Beach that was the Drop-In-Center. They asked us to provide 10 volunteers and we had 12! They were impressed with the level of professionalism and self motivation from everyone who helped out. Larry Forester checked people in at the start and marked time for the finished racers, Andre, Emma and Caitlin from Petra, Sherry G and Donny LG were stationed at the game sites around downtown. Rodney and Brad handled the start of the race and checked answers for returning teams, Mark was the "Gorilla", Steve was our floater and Alyssa from Petra was the Photographer for the day. Located at the Rock Bottom Brewery on Pine and Ocean we had a push up tent with information about the program and we collected over 200 lbs of food for our pantry. We made a lot of new friends one of them being the Rock Bottom Brewery stay tuned for a fund raiser being held there. It was such a good day we hope to do it again next year. Check out these pages:
