"A Kaptivating Affair" New Year’s Eve Fundraiser
Georgia Pearls of Service Foundation’s signature fundraiser, "A Kaptivating Affair", returns this year to continue to Unmask the Face of Homelessness and Childhood Hunger.
Homelessness and childhood hunger are not only issues for third world countries, 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.
The generous support of sponsors and donors in 2022 enabled GPOS to provide children with more than 2,000 hunger-free days. We also awarded 12 Ora B. Douglass Scholarships to college-bound high school seniors, and sponsored a back-to-school fair that supplied 250 backpacks filled with school supplies to children in need.
100% of the profit from donations and sponsorships from our 2023 A Kaptivating Affair fundraiser will be used to fund relevant community service projects and scholarships such as these.
