Penchant Lama Launches "Wogging for Deep" Campaign

Greensboro, NC -- Penchant Lama and his Posse have launched the “Wogging for Deep” campaign to raise money to support Debra the Trashman, legendary trash refurbisher. Debra’s junk reburbish and resale business, which has flourished in the past 10 years with the boom in the housing market, is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. People simply aren’t buying and subsequently replacing household goods as frequently, leaving little for Debra to collect on his junk runs through Greensboro. Gas prices also are to blame; fewer people are willing to make the drive to Debra’s stockyard, which is located 15 miles outside of Greensboro. Debra’s business now is only open on Saturdays from 9am-1pm and his sales revenue has dropped 60% in the past two months.

The “Wogging for Deep” campaign is a month-long fundraising effort that will culminate with a “wog” at Spencer Love Park on Saturday, May 24 starting at 9am. Wogging, invented by Debra’s close friend Big Weight, is a combination of walking and jogging. Big Weight’s “Almost Airborne” workout CD sold over 1 million copies in 2007. The “Wogging for Deep” wog will be eight miles.

“Wogging for Deep” will be sponsored by Big Naughty’s Breakfast Shack. Naughty, a retired criminal defense lawyer from Los Angeles who opened his restaurant in 2001 with financial backing from long-time friend Koach Krafty, bought all his business’s tables from Debra. He will match one dollar for each dollar raised during the campaign and provide a pancake feast after the wog. All monies raised will go toward securing a new business location for Debra and building a state-of-the-art warehouse.

Penchant Lama will direct the campaign and offer the pre-wog speech on May 24. Penchant works as a part-time tinker for Debra during the summer months. He is now accepting applications for the wog. The registration fee is $150.00. Checks for the wog and for general donations are to be made payable to Penchant Lama.
