We are thrilled to announce our annual fundraising gala, set to take attendees on “A Tour of Italy.” This illustrious event will be held on April 20, 2024, at the Cobb Galleria Centre, promising an unforgettable night filled with enchantment, celebration and philanthropy.
The 2024 gala has the honor of being co-chaired by Al Martin, External Affairs Manager at Georgia Power Company, and Britt Fleck, Regional Director at Georgia Power Company. Their combined expertise and dedication will guide attendees through the picturesque landscapes of Italy while emphasizing the CFR’s essential services and its overarching goal to keep children housed one family at a time.
“We are honored to be part of a community that recognizes the importance of supporting organizations like the Center for Family Resources,” said the co-chairs. “We are committed to making the CFR annual gala a resounding success and to furthering the organization’s mission of creating lasting positive change in the lives of families in our community.”
Attendees can expect a curated Italian experience, from wine tastings to entertainment, all while strolling through scenes reminiscent of Italy’s most visited cities. Each detail of the evening aims to immerse guests in the cultural richness of Italy while shedding light on the impact of their contributions.
Proceeds from the gala will directly fund the CFR’s vital programs, supporting local families in need. These initiatives include but are not limited to emergency financial assistance, food pantries, housing solutions and employment resources.
“We’re incredibly honored to have the support of Al and Britt, two incredible community champions, as our chairs this year,” said Melanie Kagan, Chief Executive Officer for the CFR. “With their support and the captivating theme of Italy, we’re confident this will be our most memorable gala yet.”
Supporters unable to attend the gala can still make an impact. The CFR encourages donations of any size, and there will also be opportunities to bid in an online silent auction, featuring unique items and experiences.
The CFR remains grateful for the continued generosity and commitment of its community. Together, through events like the annual gala, we can continue to uplift families and strengthen our community.
