Georgia Pearls of Service Foundation, Inc.

The important work GPOS does in the community would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We'd like to express our sincere gratitude for the companies and individuals who sponsored our signature New Year’s Eve fundraiser, “A Kaptivating Affair”. Because of you, GPOS will be able to make even greater advances in our service to the community.

Sponsorships were a vital element of the success of this fundraising event, with our giving theme of “Unmask the Face of Homelessness and Childhood Hunger”. Donations made possible by the over $40,000 raised were presented at the event to the Robert D. Fowler YMCA, H.O.P.E., Inc., and Peachtree Elementary School, organizations who also support these causes. Profit from the event will also be used to fund community service projects, outreach programs, and college scholarships in 2023.

Our giving theme this year is “Unmask the Face of Homelessness and Childhood Hunger”. 100% of the profit from donations and sponsorships are used to fund relevant community service projects and outreach programs, and provide college scholarships to deserving high school students. 

Homelessness and childhood hunger are not only issues for Third World countries and the inner city; they also plague suburban communities like those served by GPOS. Children facing hunger and homelessness may struggle in school and beyond. They are more likely to repeat a grade in elementary school, experience developmental delays, and have more social and behavioral problems. Programs that help to meet this need will have long-lasting positive impacts on these children, their families, and our communities as a whole.
