Thanks to you, we raised over $465,000!

The Good2Give Celebration: Hall of Fame felt like it was pulled right out of a classic Hollywood film!

At the Good2Give Celebration, nonprofit leaders, donors and community partners came together to honor Northeast Georgia’s heroes — the nonprofits and leaders who are spreading hope and rewriting stories of life-change.

It was an honor to recognize Tom Abernathy, Julie Keeton Arnold, Cole Hudgens, representing The Scott Hudgens Family Foundation and David Snell, representing the Snell Family and E.R. Snell Contractor, Inc. as recipients of the Clyde and Sandra Strickland Legacy Hall of Fame Award. We also honored Clyde and Sandra’s decades of leadership and philanthropy in the community.

Together, we raised over $465,000 to support the work of these incredible organizations, including the 2026 Grant Cycle recipients providing vital mental health services!

Thank you for shining so brightly on the biggest stage!
