PN COED FLAG RUGBY SOCIAL & HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Time: A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present, to the future.

"Time flies when you're having fun" is often quoted by yours truly.  I can honestly say I'm having fun doing what I do; creating opportunity for myself and others.

This past Saturday, December 20th, 2014 PeppNation SLC hosted it's second annual Coed Flag Rugby Social, @Hephatha Lutheran Church Gym, Milwaukee WI.  Student Athletes, ages 7-14, throughout Wisconsin gathered to participate in this fun filled day event.  Rugby, Arts and Crafts (Holiday Cards), Rugby Film Review and PeppTalk {Civil Conversations around respect].  Community were among the many topics our guest engaged conversation.  I'm thankful to all our participants, parents, volunteers and spectators for their attendance.


24 games, 450 + points scored and lots of community was what this day was all about.  Teams of  mixed race and genders, playing with students other then their norm.  Seems so basic and the impact is breath taking to say the least.  I witness, leadership unlike I've ever seen before.  There was much skill level volatility on each team and celebrated their victories and evaluating, and improved upon their shortcomings as one unit, each and every game   There are two definition of Community displayed Saturday; 'A group of people having common interest, which I believe we demonstrated wonderfully, and A group viewed as forming a distinct segment of society'.  For example

The Community of Educated People
The Community of Civil People
The Community of Athletic People
The Community of Positive People
ALL OF THE ABOVE, WE ARE!

We've wrapped up 2014 PNSLC programming in stellar fashion and looking to have an even STRONGER 2015!  Happy Holidays PeppNation! I thank you all for your support and time.  We're in it to win it..  This is our journey, I didn't get here alone and together we will prosper.

One Unit, One Team, PeppNation

TIME TO GET BACK TO IT: FACE THE WORLD

Blogging has always been apart of my world, but for the moment my work and conversations have been face to face, rather than the FACE THE WORLD approach/opportunity I began some 3-4 years ago.  Blogging allows for people from all over the world, friends, family and novice (Future Leaders) alike to experience my life, my world, through my own words/lens.

CULPEPPER'S DREAMS AND GOALS ARE REALITY, has taken a slight turn in it's direction and purpose, and the focus is now more then ever, others.  My current Dreams and Goals are around the success of others, witness young people achieve their own DREAMS AND GOALS through the work and efforts of many, under the guidance of PeppNation, PN Sports Leadership Camps, Academy and PeppNation.org (The Village).  I plan to be partially responsible for 10s of 1,000s of students and student athletes alike who aspire college, go to college and graduate from college; learn trades, do trades and inspire and create trade jobs.  Those 10s of 1,000s once will then be responsible for leading others in the same manner which they were once led, while following the direction of former graduates and current business professionals.  You see, mentoring never ends...  There is always someone whose experience something, you haven't and eventually will; and those following who will experience things you already have.  Imagine if we all helped each other, teach each other and lead one another what this world will look like.

I want to create a global organization, with brand recognition that of McDonnell's and NIKE.  PEPPNATION WILL ONE DAY BE A HOUSE HOLD NAME, mark my words.  Currently we're serving roughly 500 participants here in Milwaukee, WI and the brand has been equally successful in NYC, ATL GA and soon Detroit, MI, Duluth, MN and Santa Rosa, CA.  Who doesn't want leadership and prosperity for their community?  Developing Youth Through Athletics & Extra Curricular Activities.  We must stat and believe that all things are possible, "I am human and nothing human is foreign to me" Maya Angelo.  Hard work pays off and those who work hard get PAID!

We've rapped up our first 13 weeks of Fall/Winter programing this week, and now it's time to begin selling in programing to other interested schools & community based organizations for 1st Quarter 2015.  This quarter concluded with our Flagship Coed Indoor Flag Rugby Cup, Saturday, November 22; learn more @peppnation.org.  Saturday, December 20th, PeppNation will host a Coed Indoor Flag Rugby Social @Hephatha Lutheran Church, 1720 W Locust, Milwaukee, WI; All ARE WELCOME.

My personal goal is serving 20 - 50 schools and CBOs, 2014 - 2015 school year calendar + summer camps; this fall we were @9.  I would like to Gross $100k + in fee for service, $250k + in grants and donations and $100k in sponsorship dollars in 2015.  Contributing to education, athletics, housing and the economic growth in communities we serve, both in person and online.  Long way to go and I'm confident we'll get there.

Happy Holidays to you all and stay tuned; much more exciting work to be done and children/young adults to serve.  If PeppNation can be successful in Milwaukee, WI, we can be successful anywhere in the world.
