Flex Funds exist for exactly this purpose - meeting specific, urgent needs that don't always fit into a standard donation category. This round of 2026 Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Flex Fund stories shows just how much ground that flexibility can cover: ReStart Augusta used their $1,200.00 Flex Fund donation from Keller Williams Realty Augusta Partners to provide new beds and bedding to four children who had been sleeping on the floor - a need so basic it's easy to

Not every act of generosity comes through an existing relationship - sometimes it starts with a Google search. That's the story behind Avantor VWR, a local business that decided to run its own Back-to-School drive, searched online for a way to make sure the donations landed somewhere meaningful, and found Kares 4 Kids. The result: 185 pounds of backpacks and school supplies, delivered as a complete surprise to the team. Those supplies were distributed to three organizations d

Sometimes the best measure of impact isn't a dollar figure - it's a thank-you note that a nonprofit felt compelled to publish. That's exactly what happened when Real Life Center sent a heartfelt email and blog post recognizing Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Peachtree City for their generosity. The recognition centered on two contributions: their summer Backpacks 4 Kids donations and Flex Fund support, both of which go directly toward helping local children and famili

Volunteering can mean writing a check, but it can also mean rolling up your sleeves and jumping into a kitchen. This summer, a group of Keller Williams Realty Augusta Partners agents chose the second option - twice! The team served dinner at the Ronald McDonald House not once but twice over the summer, cooking and serving meals for families who are staying near hospitals while their children receive medical care. For those families, a hot meal they didn't have to think about

Back-to-school season carries a very specific kind of stress for families who are counting pennies for notebooks and pencils. Keller Williams Realty Augusta Partners decided to lighten that load, hosting an event to hand out their Kares 4 Kids, Backpacks 4 Kids to local children heading back to the classroom. The team didn't stop at supplies. They brought in a special guest to make the day feel like a celebration instead of a handout: Spiderman himself made an appearance, tur

Sometimes big impact starts with the small stuff sitting in your pantry. This summer, Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners agents in Newnan and Carrollton put that idea to the test, launching a donation drive for Backpack Buddies built around three simple staples: mac & cheese, granola bars, and fruit cups. The response blew past expectations. By the time the drive wrapped, agents had collected an incredible 5,641 granola bars alone - plus boxes of mac & cheese and fruit c

Not every crisis a child faces is visible. Thanks to a $5,000 donation from The Brothers Trust, Will to Live is expanding its reach to promote suicide prevention and mental wellness among local children in crisis. Mental health resources for young people remain in short supply, even as the need continues to grow. This gift helps ensure that kids struggling silently have somewhere to turn - and that prevention, not just crisis response, stays at the center of the conversation.

Emergencies are stressful for anyone - but for children with autism, an unexpected encounter with first responders can be overwhelming in ways that are easy to overlook. A $10,000 donation from The Brothers Trust to Shine Autism is closing that gap for 500 children with autism and their families. The funds supported the creation of sensory kits, equipping first responders with tools to better understand and support individuals with autism and others with sensory needs during

Aging out of foster care is one of the most vulnerable transitions a young person can face - often with little safety net and even less certainty about what comes next. Thanks to The Brothers Trust's $10,000 donation to Lydia's Place, 20 young adults transitioning out of foster care will now have stable housing and support as they pursue education and independence. Stable housing is the foundation everything else is built on. With that foundation secure, these young adults ca

For children with childhood cancer, some of the hardest days of childhood happen in hospital rooms. Thanks to a $10,000 donation from The Brothers Trust to Camp Sunshine, 1,720 children receiving oncology treatment got to experience something every kid deserves: the joy of camp through their Summer 2U Summer Program. The funding went directly toward activity supplies, special events, and individualized activity kits - carefully designed so that even children in isolation, una

Thanks to the generosity of The Brothers Trust, Just Kingdom Sports is giving hundreds of children across Georgia the chance to experience belonging and teamwork through youth sports. This latest donation is opening the door to youth sports programs for an estimated 600 to 800 children - kids who might otherwise never get the chance to join a team, learn a new skill, or feel the confidence that comes from a coach believing in them. Youth sports offer far more than exercise. T

Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Peachtree City marked a milestone this June, hosting their 5th Annual Golf Tournament in support of Kares 4 Kids. What started as a single fundraising idea five years ago has grown into one of the market center's signature FUNdraising events - bringing together agents, sponsors, and local supporters for a day on the course that translates directly into resources for children in need. Golf tournaments have quietly become one of the most

Every July, something wonderful happens across our 12 Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners market centers. Backpacks are filled with fresh school supplies. Hearts are filled with hope. And thousands of local children get to walk into their first day of school feeling ready, confident, and cared for. This July, that magic happens again — and it's bigger than ever. 2,088 Children. One Mission. This year, Backpacks 4 Kids will reach 2,088 children across Augusta, Greater Athe

Every year, Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners gives back in many ways into their communities and this year’s RED Day was another example. Several of our market centers donated their We Kare Bears, including Peachtree City, Newnan, and Premier, all contributing their cuddly friends destined for children facing trauma, illness, or crisis in our local communities. We Kare Bears are one of Kares 4 Kids’ most beloved programs - providing comfort to children in hospitals, she

Only 34% of Georgia’s children are proficient readers when they enter fourth grade. Kares 4 Kids and Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners are determined to change that - one book at a time. Here’s what our market centers accomplished this spring through our Legacy of Literacy program: • Barrow Jackson donated 841 brand new books to the Braselton Public Library System, benefiting 20,184 children • Greater Athens donated 2,367 books to Books for Keeps, supporting children

Some donors show up once. The Brothers Trust has continued to show up! The incredibly generous Brothers Trust has donated $45,000 through Kares 4 Kids to local children’s charities - a commitment that goes far beyond a single check. It reflects a deep, ongoing belief that children in our community deserve consistent, reliable support. Gifts of this magnitude allow Kares 4 Kids to partner with great organizations and provide the kind of stability that lets nonprofits plan, gro

Closings for HOPE: Agents Who Give at Every Closing That’s exactly what the agents in Kares 4 Kids’ “Closings for HOPE Circle” do.
