Field Hockey Clinic a Raging Success

Georgia Express will be expanding programs at Shakerag, bringing field hockey, rugby, and cricket to Johns Creek and the Atlanta area. Our launch event was the GXFC Sports Festival November 11. Money raised was split between the Will-to-Live Foundation and the Shakerag Elementary Technology Fund.

Will-to-Live Foundation is a non-profit foundation that is dedicated to preventing teen suicide and improving the lives and “Will To Live” of teenagers everywhere.
