There will be a benefit fundraiser this Saturday for the Clayton Martin Foundation. The foundation was established by Clayton’s family after he drowned this past Memorial Day.
Clayton attended and played basketball at Toccoa Falls College and was also a firefighter with the Clarkesville Fire Department. His mother Juli Tomlin says the purpose of the foundation is to provide scholarships for young people. “Our hope and vision is to help kids in many ways (sports camps scholarships, Christian camps, survival swim lessons, sports and academic scholarships). Saturday’s ride is to help fund this endeavor and is a true labor of love for us,” Tomlin says.
The ride will begin at Banks County High School (registration until 10:15 and ride begins at 10:30). It will pass Toccoa Falls College and end at the Clarkesville Fire Department located at 210 East Waters Street. BBQ plates, raffle tickets and t-shirts will be available for purchase at the fire department.
Tomlin says street legal vehicles and motorcycles are also welcome to join in the ride. Those who choose not to participate in the bike road and motorcade are welcome to enjoy BBQ, fun and fellowship at the Clarkesville Fire Department.
