We ❤ Our Kids! A Fundraiser For Children’s Miracle Network


Throughout the month of February, we will be holding a fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network to show our love for our community’s children and their families. The proceeds will benefit three specific projects across CMN hospitals in Georgia: at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the funds will support the Kids Cooking Club within the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic, at Phoebe Putney Hospital, the expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia, expansion of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

The best part is- you can double the love when you give today as the Foundation will match all donations made up to $5,000! There is no minimum donation- all amounts are appreciated and will go a long way toward bringing each of these projects to life.

Thank you for helping us improve what matters!



Supporting Georgia’s Children’s Hospitals


This December, staff across all Georgia’s Own’s regions contributed gifts from wish lists created by three children’s hospitals across Georgia- Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Georgia Children’s Hospital, and Willett Children’s Hospital. We hope these gifts provide some comfort to the children and families spending the holidays away from home this year.



Georgia’s Own Day of Service Tackles Food Insecurity


Each fall, Georgia’s Own takes on a Day of Service for our communities. This year, over 600 employees joined together to tackle food insecurity across the state- creating over 2,300 Thanksgiving meal kits and serving a warm meal to over 300 neighbors in need.

The 14th Annual Georgia’s Own Golf Challenge is in the books and we are so grateful to all of our sponsors, participants, and volunteers for helping us raise an event-record $145,000 for L.E.A.D.

Smart Lunch, Smart Kid 2023

We are excited to announce that this June we are once again partnering with Hope Atlanta to raise money for their Smart Lunch, Smart Kid initiative. Each year, over one million children in Georgia lose access to lunch when school lets out for the summer, and this program seeks to close that hunger gap. A $5 donation will feed a child lunch for two days and will be delivered directly to the neighborhoods in need; avoiding the very real transportation barrier.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 for SLSK -enough to provide 4,000 lunches to children in our community- and we would love your help in making that a reality! This campaign will run through June 30, and the Georgia’s Own Foundation will match all donations up to $5,000, making your contribution go twice as far! If you’re able to give, please click here.

This is one of the most impactful initiatives we do throughout the year and we couldn’t do it without your support, so thank you!



We ❤️ Our Kids! Join Us In Support of Children’s Miracle Network

Help us give our kids a big, warm hug this month by joining us in support of Children’s Miracle Network! Your gift in any amount will help fund critical projects at three of Georgia’s Children’s Hospitals and each donation will be matched by the Georgia’s Own Foundation*- so you’ll be doubling the love when you give.

Initiatives this fundraiser will support include the expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Phoebe Putney Hospital, creation of The Zone -a place for patients to play, watch movies, shoot hoops, and just be kids for a while- at the upcoming Arthur M. Blank Hospital in Atlanta, and the development of the Center for Pediatric Development, Behavior Health & Wellness at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia.

Your gift in any amount will go a long way towards bringing these projects to life! If you’d like to support one of these projects specifically, please make sure to indicate your preference in the notes section at checkout.

Support Uvalde With Donation Match From the Georgia’s Own Foundation

Our team here at Georgia’s Own shares in the shock and heartbreak as the aftermath of the tragedy in Uvalde, TX unfolds. We can’t begin to imagine the grief the victims’ families must be experiencing, and like many of you, feel compelled to take action and help in some meaningful way. The organization VictimsFirst is a network of survivors and relatives affected by previous mass shootings and is currently fundraising to provide no-strings-attached cash payments directly to victims’ family members. Will you join us in sending a message of support to the families through VictimsFirst with a financial donation? The Georgia’s Own Foundation will be matching all contributions made through June 1st up to $5,000.

Thank you for your consideration, and for helping us improve what matters.



Preventing Summer Slide With Share the Magic

On Monday, May 16, we will be teaming up with former Georgia Bulldog star and Superbowl Champ, Malcolm Mitchell, to bring a Reading Rally to the students at Woodson Park Academy School in Atlanta. Mitchell’s foundation, Share the Magic, aims to promote youth literacy through book ownership, so we will be donating 800 books to the students ahead of summer break to help prevent the ‘summer slide’ that often occurs when children are away from school for long periods of time. The students will be treated to a reading of The Magician’s Hat, which was written by Malcolm himself, as well as a real magic show!
