Pulling for Tripp team prepares for the big day on Saturday, April 20th

Gainesville, GA – The fundraiser planned for this Saturday April 20th is gaining momentum, and no one is more ready than OLDSKL Fitness owner and world-record holder Greg Cochran. Cochran will be on the track at Road Atlanta this Saturday from 10:30am-11am on the second morning of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, pulling two all-new Nissan Pathfinders from Carriage Automotive Group to raise money for Tripp Halstead. Tripp, the toddler who was critically injured when a large tree limb fell on him last October, has had several setbacks and about a dozen surgeries since the accident, but he is now home with his family and doing better.

The goal for the event has been set at $25,000 and donations have been coming in for the past few weeks. For individuals that want to contribute, the easiest way is to go to www.wdun.com/pulling-for-tripp and click on the Donate Now button.

For those able to attend the event in person on Saturday, Cochran will be available after 11am in the vendor area for pictures and autographs. There will also be “Pulling for Tripp!” t-shirts sold, proceeds going to the Halstead family.

For those unable to attend the event in person, there will be a live streaming video of Greg pulling the Pathfinders on the track. Go to www.wdun.com/pulling-for-tripp and click on the Watch Live button.

In the Oakwood area, Krystal restaurant has offered to donate 25% of sales that day between the hours of 2pm-5pm. In addition, a portion of the ticket sales from Road Atlanta will also be donated to the Halsteads.

Wrapping up the day, Loco’s Grill and Pub in Winder will host the official Pulling for Tripp! after party from 6pm-9pm. Greg Cochran and the Pulling for Tripp team will be there, and WDUN AM550/FM102.9 will be raffling off some great prizes including Gwinnett Braves tickets. Loco’s will be donating 10% of sales that evening to the Halstead family. In addition, there will be free live music by a local band for party guests to enjoy.
