December 2024
What a fun December we have had!
For our first event, we partnered with Murphy Harpst Children’s Home to send a group to the Fox Theatre to see Cirque du Soleil! The kids loved the show and were so excited to be at the Fox for this HAPPY GAMEDAY experience!
Our second event was in North Carolina! We partnered with Foster Village Charlotte to take a family of 4 to see a Panthers game. Everyone had a blast! Not only did they have the best seats in the house, but they also got to meet the cheerleaders, go onto the field during the players warm up, and all the food they could eat at The Vault. It was a great HAPPY GAMEDAY!
For our final event, we partnered with Chosen for LIfe Ministries in Athens to send a family of 6 to a UGA basketball game! Two of their boys just started playing basketball and were so excited to see the game. The boys’ birthdays were right around game day so they also celebrated their birthday while they were there! A HAPPY GAMEDAY and a Happy Birthday all in one!
These families and kids all created fun lifetime memories, and we could not provide these experiences without your continued support!
