Peachtree Road Race Quilt
CEO “Material”
Over his career Greg Gates proved that he had what it takes to be a Corporate CEO. Five years in a row Mr. Gates was named by Atlanta Magazine as a “Five Star Wealth Manager”. The magazine cited him for providing comprehensive and proactive tax planning for physicians, dentists, and other professionals. A CPA and Principal of PYA Gates Moore, Greg Gates was an active participant in the Peachtree Road Race, a 52-year-old 10K race organized by the Atlanta Track Club.
Now enjoying the fruits of his labor listening to the waves at his oceanside beach house, Mr. Gates wanted a special gift for his two adult children. He reached out to Just TShirt Quilts for a special project to commemorate his many years of participating in the Peachtree Road Race. With boxes of race shirts and entry numbers in storage, Mr. Gates had the idea of two identical commemorative quilts for his two children.
In the designing phase for the two quilts, it was decided that they could be identical yet unique. Using a red, white, and blue color scheme, to symbolize the 4th of July running of the Peachtree Road Race, each commemorative quilt features t-shirts from the annual event. Around the border are the entry numbers from various years. One has the even number years while the other features the odd numbers. In this way each child received an identical gift, yet one that was uniquely theirs.
Over his corporate career, Greg Gates has much to be proud of, however like other avid runners, these races held special memories for him and his family. Customized quilts by Just TShirt Quilts was the perfect way to keep these memories for his children. These customized quilts, destined to be family heirlooms, represent what all runners can do with their box of stored away race t-shirts.
Runners and walkers who participate in Corporate or Community races for charity, glory or the challenge can turn their race t-shirts into visible memories that will last a lifetime. Each race t-shirt quilt tells the story of perseverance, accomplishment as well as dedication. Most times the race t-shirts and entry tags are the only physical memories. Instead of packing them away never to be seen again, contact Just TShirt Quilts today to turn old race t shirts into a customized living memory and family heirloom. Long after you cross the finish line a customized, personalized, unique quilt that can be used for comfort or display can let the races live on.
You can still wear the shirts, just in a different way!
