Virtual Fundraiser Still a Success The annual fundraiser, the Chick-fil-A Moo’ve It 5K Road Race, typically draws 1,500 participants for each event. This year, the format was virtual, but the proceeds were still substantial: $33,222. Operators of all Cherokee County Chick-fil-A restaurants came together to make the event a success, raising money for the Cherokee County Educational Foundation and Cherokee County Special Olympics. Participants picked up their registration packets a week ahead of the Aug. 15 event, ran their own races, and shared their times, photos and videos on a platform where they could be celebrated. A video production was created and shared on Aug. 15; the link to the video is https://bit.ly/3eDsuM9. To celebrate the check presentation, the operators or their representatives delivered breakfast to the 255 faculty and staff members at Cherokee High School. In charge of delivery were, from left: Scott Hall, Stefanie Gibbons, Kevin Williams and Ron Hammond.
Woodstock 6-Year-Old a Rising Star
At age 6, Coraline Jones has gotten a solid start on her acting and modeling career. It all began with a casting call on Facebook with an Atlanta talent agency, which was looking for girls ages 3-5 with red hair to cast for an animal feed commercial. The doors have opened with opportunities since that audition. In December 2019, Coraline was selected to go to Nashville to film with country star, Brantley Gilbert. The job was for Spotify, and the format was similar to “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” It’s safe to say Coraline stole the show, according to her mom Bethany. “If you love country music or need a good laugh, you can find this post on Spotify’s Instagram feed posted December 20, 2019.” Coraline, along with her on-set family, became the face of Stein Mart’s 2019 National Christmas campaign. Across the U.S., Stein Mart store windows featured oversized versions of the festive family photo. Her biggest break came when she was cast in March 2020 as Carrie Holden for “Dead Silent,” season 4. The episode aired Nov. 24 on Hulu. When asked what she likes most about acting, Coraline said, “I like how I can see myself on TV, and it is so much fun. I really would like to do it again sometime.” Coraline and her on-set family became the faces for Stein Mart’s Christmas campaign last year. 14
