February 2025
We were thrilled to provide 4 HAPPY GAMEDAY events throughout the month of February!
We partnered with Murphy Harpst Children’s Home to send 10 kids and staff to the Georgia Aquarium. They all had a blast and really enjoyed all of the cool sea creatures!
For our second event we sent 6 kids from Kentucky United Methodist Children’s Home to a UK basketball game in Rupp Arena! The kids had a ton of fun cheering the CATS on to victory!
We also partnered with Chosen for Life Ministries to send a group in Athens to a UGA basketball game. They had fun cheering on the DAWGS and eating every snack available!
For our final event this month, we partnered with Georgia Kids Belong to send 2 families to the AMBETTER 400 NASCAR race in Atlanta. We got them PreRace track passes so they got to get up close and personal to the drivers and cars! All of the kids loved the experience.
These families and kids all created fun lifetime memories, and we could not provide these experiences without your continued support!

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. A lot has happened over the last ten years, but they believe that there is still more to be done. Visit them at chosenforlifeministries.org
