Hundreds of local children from the Boys & Girls Club afterschool program will get to attend the extreme-sports show at Meridian Community College's Graham Gymnasium on Monday, April 7 at 4:30 p.m.

The King BMX Bike Stunt Show is staffed with professional riders who have competed in events such as the X-Games, Gravity Games and Dew Action Sports Tour, as well as at NBA, NFL and NASCAR sporting events. Every performance features high-flying aerial stunts and mind-boggling technical maneuvers executed on the ground, all choreographed and featuring a state-of-the-art Peavey sound system.

"Peavey has helped us a lot with our stunt show, and we're excited to return the favor and put on a great performance for the Boys & Girls Club afterschool program and friends of Peavey," said King, a 20-year veteran professional BMX rider. "We're ready to come entertain the crowd!"

Added Peavey President Mary Peavey, "It thrills me to be able to offer a truly special event like this to the children of Lauderdale County. This will be an exciting day for all of us!"

Mary Peavey serves on the national Board of Directors for the Afterschool Alliance (www.afterschoolalliance.org) and was a guest speaker at "Destination Graduation: Adult Summit" in Jackson on February 28, where community leaders from across Mississippi addressed solutions to the state's student dropout crisis. Peavey hosted the local follow-up summit, "Destination Graduation: Lauderdale County," on March 17.
