- Our Lady of Perpetual Help Hospice – For terminal cancer patients, every day is precious. But in order to meet their medical needs and to make their days as comfortable as possible, they require consistent nursing care, which is an expense that many cannot afford. For these patients, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Hospice serves as a facility that can give terminal cancer patients the care they could not afford elsewhere. The organization does not accept any payment from patients or their families, relieving the financial burden during their time of hardship.
- TJ and Friends Foundation – In 2008, TJ Johnson was facing a cancer diagnosis. To ease the financial strain of medical costs, his friends organized an escorted motorcycle ride to raise money for TJ’s cause. In TJ’s memory, his friends have continued their quest to provide financial relief to cancer patients in northeast Georgia. While researchers fight to find better treatment and a cure for the disease, the TJ and Friends Foundation helps local cancer patients with their day-to-day financial struggles through fundraising events like softball tournaments, horse shows, bass tournaments, auctions, and more.
- Atlanta Humane Society – As the oldest charitable organization in Atlanta, the Atlanta Humane Society has become a leader in ending pet homelessness and overpopulation in our community. The organization takes a multi-faceted approach, combining educational programs with veterinary care and adoption centers that never place “time limits” on the amount of time animals can remain in their care.
We truly value being a part of and giving back to our community, and we would be honored to have your help in choosing which local charity will receive $1,000 to continue their important work.

The Atlanta S.E.E.D.s program (Self-Esteem, Education and Empowerment through Dance) has been serving the Roswell area since 2012, when founder Liezel Lane started a local chapter of the organization that was first conceptualized in 2000 in New Mexico. The program’s mission, focused on helping girls in their pre-teen and teenage years, is “to mentor young women in order to create healthy and strong individuals who are socially and fiscally responsible to themselves and their community.” They accomplish this ambitious goal by taking a multi-faceted approach, using dance instruction along with guest speakers about everything from financial literacy to career choices to healthy nutrition. The program also seeks to help the girls develop emotional maturity through journal writing and talking circles.
