Rally proceeds will benefit the American Diabetes Association and the Peach State Reds Initiative. The mission of American Diabetes Association is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of 20 million Americans who have diabetes. The Peach State Reds Initiative represents a joint venture of CCA-GA, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the University System of Georgia. Through the initiative, scientists will spawn Georgia redfish in captivity and release fingerlings into Wassaw Sound and a saltwater impoundment on Jekyll Island to study the efficacy of stock enhancement.
