To raise funds for local charities

PromoHits, 141 N. Main St., Bluffton, has committed to donating 5% of its total product sales from January-June 2019 to four local charities, according to Melinda Bowden, owner.

The initiative, titled PromoCares, provides the opportunity for local businesses that purchase products from PromoHits to designate which of the four charities they’d like their purchase to support. There is no extra cost to the business – the donations will solely come from profits PromoHits gains from the sale of its products.

My family and rollercoasters

I have four children and they are split 50-50 as far as their enjoyment of rollercoasters. 

The thrill of the climb, the shock of the drop, the blood rushing through their veins – two of them enjoy every moment of the experience, but two not so much.  They were all raised in a similar environment, have common parents, same gene pool, etc. but two of them have a stomach for risk and two do not.
