PLYMOUTH, MA…

On August 14 at 8:30am, Boston Marathon legend Bill Rodgers will focus on an extremely significant road race. And while August 14 is the day the women’s marathon at the Olympic Games in Rio, the former Olympian will be locked in on another, much shorter race that day:  the sixth annual 4.58 mile Run for Faith at Plimoth Plantation where he will be signing copies of his book, Marathon Man.

“As a cancer survivor, the Run for Faith has a special place in my heart,” said Rodgers, who overcame a bout with prostate cancer. “While I certainly wish all the participants well in Rio, my attention will be on the Run for Faith and helping Matt and his team of volunteers raise money for ovarian cancer research.”

“Matt” is Run for Faith Race Director Matthew Romboldi. The Run for Faith is dedicated to the memory of Romboldi’s mother, Marcy “Faith” Romboldi, who succumbed to ovarian cancer in 2010.

“I was a little too young to see Bill compete in the Montreal Olympics but he is a living legend when it comes to marathon running in this country,” said Romboldi. “We were delighted to have him last year as our grand marshal and pleased he’ll be back in that capacity this year, as well as signing copies of his book, Marathon Man.”

Marathon Man: My 26.2 Mile Journey from Grad Student to Top of the World will be on sale at the Run for Faith for $28 (payment is by cash or check only). The book highlights Rodger’s rise from obscurity to become the United States’ elite marathon runner, winning the Boston Marathon and New York Marathon four times each and competing in the 1976 Olympics.   Rodgers will also be signing copies of his poster showing him winning the 1979 Boston Marathon. Posters are $20.

Today, in addition to his book and making appearances, Rodgers owns and operates an online store, the Bill Rodgers Running Center (www.BillRodgerRunningCenter.com) with his brother Charlie.

“One of the things I love about running is even though it’s a solitary activity, it can bring people, communities and even countries together,” said Rodgers. “I’m honored to be a part of the Run for Faith community.”

To date, the Run for Faith has raised more than $100,000 for local and regional causes. That includes two annual scholarships for graduating Plymouth North and South high school seniors, an annual donation to the Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care, and contributions to other local cause that were near and dear to Mrs. Romboldi, such as the Plymouth Public Library.

In its short history, the Run for Faith has become known as the Plymouth run offering something for everyone. The scenic 4.58 mile rural course offers a challenge to both experienced and novice runners alike. First place finishers for men’s and women’s will receive $150, $100 for second and $50 for third. There will also be trophies for age group winners and medals will also be given out.

All women runners to receive tank top and men to receive TechWick T-shirt.  Chip timing will once again be embedded into runner’s number. This technology enables photos to runners to be taken. Water stations are plentiful. Walkers and runners with strollers are welcome.

To amuse younger family members, a jumpy house will be available. A number of vendors will be on hand to sell their wares before and after the race.

The entry fee for the Run for Faith is $25 for individuals before day of the race; $30 for registration on the day of the race. One hundred percent of Run for Faith entry fees go to the aforementioned charities.

Runners can register at www.runforfaithplymouth.org. You can view the course online at http://www.mapmyrun.com/us/plymouth-ma/run-for-faith-plymouth-ma-route-115100461.

Georgia CALLS Rebrands and Announces Expanded Mandate and Services

Ga Calls Logo - Vertical-TagThe face of homelessness has changed. Families make up nearly 40 percent of all who are homeless. In Gwinnett County, the average age of a homeless child is just six years old. Georgia CALLS, a 501c3 organization that started as a life transformation ministry by serving the formerly incarcerated, has expanded into a family transformation ministry. The nonprofit has rebranded and announced an expanded mandate and services.

Now, in addition to their unique reentry program that serves the state of Georgia in its commitment to helping formerly incarcerated and state supervised individuals develop critical job and life skills while providing much-needed work opportunities, Georgia CALLS helps families in distress recover from homelessness and lack of employment.

With a new mission to help rebuild and reestablish families, Georgia CALLS helps families in the North Gwinnett/South Hall County area in a number of ways – from teaching job skills and helping to provide steady employment, to leading them through a unique personal development program; providing personalized case management and counseling, and helping to acquire stable housing. Georgia CALLS program consists of these key parts: Call Center Employment, Stable Housing, Social Services, Job/Life Skills, Reentry Program and Spiritual Growth (which is optional).

Stark Statistics 

In 2014, Georgia had the fifth highest unemployment rating and sixth highest poverty rating in the U.S. and ranked as the eighth highest in food stamp use percentage.

According to State Corrections of Georgia, 60 percent of inmates in Georgia are parents, and a number of these parents have been incarcerated more than once. The Gwinnett Coalition estimates there are 6,000 homeless kids in Gwinnett County, and as of March 2016, the Gwinnett County School system was accommodating almost 2,000 known homeless students.

“As it turns out, homeless families are not as uncommon as one might think in our community,” explained Mark Mobley, Georgia CALLS’ Executive Director. “This is why Georgia CALLS exists. We’ve helped reunite 40 children with their parents just over the past year.”

To learn more about Georgia CALLS’ new mission and how they are working to build hope for generations to come, visit http://www.gacalls.org/about-us.

The Campus Dream Project

Georgia CALLS is currently fundraising for their Campus Dream Project, which is a new space to accommodate their expanding program, additional staff, and the costs to build-out that custom-designed, work/training facility. The Campus Dream Project is a comprehensive solution-focused model that will meet the needs of both individuals and families searching for hope and a second chance in society. Campus Dream is Georgia CALLS on a grand scale, with numerous work opportunities, job/life skills training, transitional housing, a food bank, tutoring, after school programs, and childcare.

Mobley continued, “Georgia CALLS is five years into building a brand new approach that helps solve the problem instead of just meeting short-term needs. Our goal is not just to meet needs but to change lives and restore families.”

FitWorx announces new high protein based snacks and shakes

FitWorx W RoxburyHow much chicken can you really force down? A high protein diet can help to build muscle and accelerate weight loss. Protein sources such as seafood, lean meats, beans, eggs and nuts provide the nutrients a body needs along with the satisfaction of feeling full. But, with today’s busy lifestyles, most people aren’t able to consume enough protein through a conventional food plan.

FitWorx, the “non-gym” solution for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss with four locations in Massachusetts, supplements that effort by offering high quality, great tasting protein snacks and meal replacement shakes.

“The FitWorx program utilizes a high protein, low carbohydrate and moderate fat macronutrient profile. Following this profile along with ensuring the proper vitamins and minerals has tremendous effect on weight loss,” explained Rick Langella, founder of FitWorx.

He continued, “Our simple, proven weight loss system which includes sustainable meal plans and high quality, great tasting protein and meal replacement products, is designed to provide the necessary protein and nutrients that people need to stay on track without feeling the need to cheat with unhealthy options.”

Now, FitWorx protein snacks and meal replacement shakes are available to members and others seeking to supplement their high-protein diet. For example, FitWorx Vanilla Meal Replacement shake packs a whopping 35 grams of protein. Each Protein Bar, with flavor varieties such as peanut caramel and coconut almond, provides at least 14 grams of protein.

For a complimentary sample of FitWorx delicious protein products, stop by one of their locations in Easton, Pembroke, West Roxbury or Weymouth.

Get with the Program

FitWorx helps real people achieve a realistic weight loss goal with manageable, proven approaches to weight loss and fitness. FitWorx training and nutrition program is designed to help members reduce body fat percentage by increasing lean muscle by up to 10 pounds. It achieves this through three 30-minute strength-training workouts per week and a high protein diet. Typically, participants can increase their metabolism by up to 500 calories per day, or 3500 calories per week or one pound of fat per week at a resting heart rate.

Langella continued, “The FitWorx program sets participants, in particular those with sedentary lifestyles, weight issues or medical conditions such as High Blood Pressure, Type II Diabetes and High Cholesterol, on the path to weight loss and an overall healthier lifestyle.”

Rodman CPAs Volunteer a Day of Service at Camp Clark in Plymouth

Rodman CPAs Camp Clark outreach IMG_6956 2

Rodman CPAs, a full service tax and accounting firm serving small, mid-market, and multi-generational companies throughout the greater Boston area, recently volunteered a day of service to “sprucing up” the grounds of Camp Clark, an Old Colony YMCA sponsored recreation camp for children in Plymouth.

A long-time supporter of Camp Clark, Rodman CPAs’ team of 17 spent six hours landscaping Camp Clark in preparation for the 1,000+ youth campers who will attend camp from the end of June to the end of August. The team, which included the firm’s president Steve Rodman and partner Tom Astore, spread 40 yards of mulch, 20 yards of sand and also painted Four Square in the playground area. The Rodman team even wore their specially designed volunteer T-shirts while working on the project.

“The Y was founded on volunteerism, and employers like Rodman CPAs who encourage volunteering is why the Y can continue to serve so many families,” said Derek Paiva, Executive Director of Old Colony YMCA.

The Rodman team spent more than 100 hours in readying Camp Clark, which according to Paiva would have taken weeks and a number of Y staff members to complete.

Paiva continued, “The Rodman team really does care and they do a great job. Having them working with us is just phenomenal.”

Community outreach is woven into Rodman CPAs’ company culture. The firm has a dedicated volunteer outreach team led by staff accountants Kate Doherty and Elysha Sturm, and every staff member has an opportunity to volunteer. Over the years, Rodman CPAs has supported a number of organizations and causes in addition to Camp Clark, including Rosie’s Place in Boston and The Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE).
