Thank You for a Successful Trot to Clot
This year’s Trot to Clot was a splash! What seemed like another hot Saturday in Atlanta turned into a torrential downpour at The Battery on June 8. For weeks, most of Metro Atlanta had not seen severe weather until the day of the event. As a result, we canceled the walk before it began for safety concerns due to lightning. However, there is good news! We raised more than $60,000!
We would like to thank our sponsors, donors, registrants and fundraisers for their tireless support. Regardless of the weather, approximately 150 of our 250 registrants came out to show their support for Camp Wannaklot. We are also grateful for our strong and mighty volunteers who braved the storm to ensure a safe and successful event.
Our fundraising teams did a wonderful job this year and played a big role in our success. Team Lucas was Trot to Clot’s top fundraising team. Led by Dr. David Hall, a board member at Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG), and his grandson, Lucas, the team raised more than $7,000. The Wannatrotters, a team led by HoG’s Junior Board of Directors, came in second place and raised more than $3,000. Our veteran fundraising team, Team Parker, came in third place and raised more than $2,000.
Of course, the event would not have been as successful without our corporate sponsors. A special thank you goes to CSL Behring, Genetech and all our sponsors and in-kind donors. Not only do the corporate sponsors make our events memorable and fun, but they also help us raise awareness of hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders.
Thank you to everyone who supported this event, and we hope to see you again at Trot to Clot 2020!
