The fall golf season continued with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Greater Athens hosting their 2nd Annual Kares 4 Kids Golf Tournament on October 8, 2026, at Jennings Mill. Building a tradition takes time, and a second annual event is an exciting sign that the Greater Athens community is committed to helping local kids. Thank you to every player, sponsor, and volunteer who turned out to support children in need. We can't wait to see how this tournament grows in the

Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Sugarloaf hosted their 6th Annual Kares 4 Kids Golf Tournament on September 30, 2026, at Bear's Best. Six years of tournaments is a milestone worth celebrating, but the day held one more surprise. When Chef Hank dropped off lunch for the event, the Sugarloaf team used the moment to surprise him with a $10,000 Flex Fund donation to Lettum Eat. It's a perfect example of what these events are really about: raising money on the course and t

Fall fundraising season is officially underway! Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners North Gwinnett hosted their 4th Annual Kares 4 Kids Golf Tournament on September 29, 2026, at Reunion Country Club. Four years in, the tournament has become a staple on the North Gwinnett calendar, bringing together agents, sponsors, and community supporters for a day of friendly competition with a purpose. Every swing, sponsorship, and donation turns into resources for local children in n

This year, Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Stockbridge invited McKenney Vento to the 2026 Southside Shopping 4 Kids event, and the results speak for themselves. After a full morning of shopping, McKenney Vento was able to restock the shelves of their care closet, then shared incredible before-and-after photos showing the difference. A care closet is often a child's first stop for the everyday essentials that make school and life a little easier. When those shelves run

Sometimes the impact of Kares 4 Kids shows up in the most unexpected place: a classroom photo. Dara Laughlin, Team Leader with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners North Gwinnett, recently shared a precious picture from her daughter's class at Mundy Mill Art Academy. Several of the children in that class were among the students who received North Gwinnett's 2026 Backpacks 4 Kids this school year. It's a powerful reminder that the work our agents and leaders do isn't happen

When Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Barrow Jackson invited New Path to Shopping 4 Kids, the result was a morning of shopping, collaboration, and a serious haul of groceries. New Path joined other charities supported by Kares 4 Kids at the Costco in Duluth during the Northside Shopping Event, filling carts with food destined directly for the Weekend Food Bag Program - a lifeline for food-insecure students across Barrow County. Thanks to the generosity of Keller Willia

Some Shopping 4 Kids stories stay with you. When Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Peachtree City invited Clearwater Academy to this year's event, Tommy Collins brought along a mother in need - a single parent raising three boys, all with special needs. Throughout the event, she was moved to tears by everything they were able to purchase. Shopping 4 Kids exists exactly for moments like this: giving organizations supporting families facing real financial and logistical h

Thanks to Flex Funds provided by Kares 4 Kids through the Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Sugarloaf and North Gwinnett offices, Mosaic Georgia is able to continue offering its full suite of no-cost services to children and families navigating trauma. Every one of Mosaic's programs is provided free of charge to victims and their families, which makes community support like this absolutely essential to keeping the doors open. This donation is helping fund several critic

Sometimes healing starts with something as simple as a hug from a stuffed bear. Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Barrow Jackson recently placed one of their We Kare Bears into a Care Basket for a Centerville Elementary School student currently undergoing treatment for Leukemia - a small gesture meant to bring comfort and a little joy during an incredibly hard time. The We Kare Bears program doesn't stop there. The Barrow Jackson team also captured their bears "on duty"

Some of the most powerful moments in the Kares 4 Kids community don't come from big fundraisers - they come from small acts of love between family. Rodney Maison, an agent with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners Perimeter East, recently shared a video that captured hearts across the network: his 6-year-old son, Jaxson, shaving his head in solidarity with his 13-year-old cousin, Mason, who is currently battling Leukemia. It's a simple gesture, but it speaks volumes. At an

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
