When you walk in a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event, you help the American Cancer Society
save lives. GDI’s President Cora O’Kelley and Vice President Cheryl Powe attended the 14 th Annual
MSABC Kickoff Breakfast held Friday, August 10, 2012, at the Intercontinental Buckhead Hotel in
Atlanta, Georgia, Donna Lowry, WXIA-TV, Emcee. For the 6th year in a row, GDI has participated in this
5K walk in support of the American Cancer Society inspiring efforts to unite communities as they honor
those who have battled breast cancer, spread the word about what they can do to help prevent breast
cancer and raise money to find cures and support programs and services for those facing the disease.

This year’s 5K event will be held Saturday, October 6, 2012, at Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta. GDI is
looking for team members to be a part of the Heritage Ball Team and help to surpass their 2011 $500
monetary goal , which the team successfully raised. This year, we are striving to double that amount
and are confident with the help and support of so many from the Atlanta Communities, this is highly
achievable.

Thanks to the dollars raised by Making Strides supporters, the American Cancer Society is saving lives
and helping more people facing breast cancer celebrate birthdays. Make plans today…..

GDI sponsored its first ever 5K Heritage Ball 2012 Road Race for Charity and all the proceeds from this
very successful Road Race were donated to the American Kidney Fund, who was one of many health
care providers in attendance of the Heritage Ball 2012 Health Fair.

Noni Walker Redding, Southeast Region Associate Director, was onsite with her team providing
American Kidney Fund screenings and educational material to Heritage Ball goers. Noni is also shown
here accepting the donation for AKF from GDI’s President Cora O’Kelley for all the help they provide to
the community at large.

26 million American adults have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and millions of others are at increased
risk. Early detection can help prevent the progression of kidney disease to kidney failure. Heart
disease is the major cause of death for all people with CKD. High risk groups include those with
diabetes, hypertension and family history of kidney disease. African Americans, Hispanics, Pacific
Islanders, Native Americans and Seniors are at increased risk.

Good Deeds International will continue their commitment to Health and Wellness as one of their
corporate tenets. Each year at the Heritage Ball, an annual Health Fair is conducted and a large effort
is put forth to ensure attendees take advantage of the many health and wellness services available
during this weekend of celebration.

Devin Jones will be heading to Troy, Alabama, as a freshman of Troy State University, majoring
in Songwriting/Audio Productions. Good Deeds International is so happy to award Devin a $500
educational scholarship for his outstanding academic achievements. He is the 4 th Good Deeds
International For Kids (GDI4K) scholarship recipient.

Devin demonstrated his desire to pursue his educational dreams and submitted his application for
scholarship by including an essay of why “Education Was Important To Me,” two letters of references,
and his Troy State University acceptance letter. He was also in attendance of Heritage Ball 2012
whereby he was introduced to over 4,000 Heritage Ball goers. He also performed some self created
music lyrics for the huge crowd!

His proud mom said “GDI will be on the top of the list when he is accepting his Grammy award for best
song writer.” We will be right there with him too!!

Way to Go Devin! Congratulations and Best Wishes from GDI for all your future dreams and endeavors!
We are very proud of you and your many accomplishments.
