September 2024
What a fun September we have had!
We were able to provide 3 HAPPY GAMEDAY experiences this month.
For our first event, we partnered with Georgia Kids Belong to send 2 families of 4 to Paw Patrol Live at the Fox Theater! As you can see in the pictures, these kids had a BLAST! Their parents were so excited to see the kids happy faces and loved making memories with them!
For our second event we had the privilege of providing a tailgate and first time college game day experience to 7 amazing young men! They enjoyed the sights and sounds of Sanford Stadium and cheered the DAWGS on to victory! For this event we partnered with Goshen Valley and our contact there said the boys were so excited and could not stop talking about the day when they returned!
For our third event, HAPPY GAMEDAY we partnered with Georgia Kids Belong and Murphy Harpst Children’s Center to send several kids and families to a Braves Game!
