February 2023
February was another UGA basketball fun filled month! We partnered with Chosen for Life Ministries and Murphy Harpst Children’s Home this month to send kids and families to UGA basketball games in Athens @ Stegeman Coliseum. We just love giving families and kids the opportunity to make special memories!
Chosen for Life Ministries began ten years ago when a small group of people began to dream of a ministry that could raise awareness and provide support for adoptive families. Visit them at chosenforlifeministries.org
Murphy-Harpst is an independent not-for-profit organization committed to meeting the needs of abused and neglected young people through residential treatment, placements in specialized foster care, and community programs that serve at-risk youth and their families. In partnership with the United Methodist Women national office, our services are available to all children regardless of sex, race, color, or creed, and whose needs can be addressed and treated within the scope of program services. Visit them at murphyharpst.org.
Our first game was on February 11, when kids from Murphy Harpst Children’s Home went to see the DAWGS play the CATS! It was a great game and in the end the DAWGS pulled off a stunning victory with a score of 68 – 75! Staff from Murphy Harpst report that the kids had a “ton of fun!”
For our second game, we sent a beautiful family from Athens to see the DAWGS take on the Missouri Tigers! The Dawgs didn’t pull out the victory, but Mom reports everyone had a great time!
“The kids really loved the basketball game. They especially loved seeing Hairy Dawg, Spike and the Dance Dawgs!”
