Thank You for Celebrating 40 years of Giving!

We are grateful to everyone who joined us for this year’s Good2Give Celebration. Because of your generosity, we raised $450,000—the most in the event’s history.

We are blown away at the over 500 guests who came together to celebrate our 40th anniversary and the impact of generosity in our community. Thanks to YOU, CFNEG can continue supporting the more than 300 nonprofit fundholders we serve through growing reserves, providing consultation and training leaders through our Nonprofit & Leadership Academy.

We also were honored to highlight the impact of Hemophilia of Georgia, Gwinnett Technical College, Gwinnett Coalition, and Primerica, and to recognize this year’s honorees:

• Ethel Andersen, Legacy Award recipient
• T. Michael (Mike) Tennant, Legacy Award recipient
• Sir Timothy (Tim) Minard, Innovator Award recipient

Special thanks also to our sponsors, partners and volunteers who made the evening possible. Together, we are ensuring that generosity continues to change lives for decades to come.
