Recently, KBS Constructors Foundation sponsored an event at the American Royal Barbecue to benefit our non-profit organization of choice, Victory Junction Camp. A few area celebrities attended the event, which was called the KBS Ultimate Tailgate Party. Kyle Petty was also at the event, signing autographs and thanking people for their support of the camp.What was especially amazing to me, was the amount of energy Kyle Petty brings to such events. He has time for everyone who helps with the camp. Clearly, the children of Victory Junction have won his heart, and I guess they must help to fill the void left by Kyle’s son Adam who was tragically killed in a racing accident.
If you do not know this story, you owe it to yourself to learn more about Victory Junction. I suggest you visit this ESPN web link and watch the video ABC produced about Adam Petty’s life and the development of the Victory Junction organization. This video is such a fitting tribute to Adam and the family he left behind.
When KBS was named as contractor to build the new camp in Kansas City, Kansas, it was a very proud moment for me personally. I did not know at that time that involvement in this charity would open my heart so wide. One cannot help but be taken in by the work so many people are doing on behalf of others. It’s truly an amazing place. I cannot wait until we open the doors on the latest camp to be located in Kansas City, Kansas. If you would like to help us build the new camp in the Midwest, visit our buildthebodyshop.com web site for more information.
