 CCC’s 2nd Annual Halloween Block Party was a Huge Success!

Sunday, October 21st was the second annual Fall Festival! CCC is thrilled to continue our partnership with the Atlanta Police Department’s PAL Program to provide over 200 children with a safe and fun-filled Halloween block party with the help of over 60 teen volunteers.

It was so much fun!  We had arts and crafts, field games, bouncy houses, food, bobbing for apples, dancing and a haunted house sponsored by PAL. The kids had a great time doing the activities at each station, getting candy and enjoying the great weather. They were truly excited and happy to be there with us. We had a great time playing with them and celebrating with them. It was all together an awesome day filled with many memorable moments!

– Megan Pelts, LTP board member

CCC especially thanks:

• The Atlanta Police Departments PAL Program for hosting us
• VIBE Entertainment for their awesome DJ and Dancer
• Sutherland’s Food Service for their generous donation of apples and pumpkins

We also want to thank Hillels of GA for facilitating a craft booth,  Adam, Scott, and Jessica for their wonderful Bar and Bat Mitzvah project activities, and Girl Scout Troop 7155 for their delicious and festive cookies!

This is truly an example of a connected community and we are so thankful to all of you who helped us create it!

LTP Phone-a-thon was a Huge Success!  

This past Sunday, the LTP Board and I fundraised through the annual phone-a-thon.  While the phone-a-thon may not be considered the highlight of my LTP career, I can say that I have mastered it along with my elevator speech, especially after three years of experience! Similar to last year, our parents joined the efforts, adding a level of comfort and competition. I think the most rewarding part was seeing my dad involve himself in a project that I have been a part of for so long. In just 2 hours, we were able to raise a record high of over $4,000 in pledges!

Creating Connected Communities, sponsor of Amy’s Holiday Party, is hard at work…

Welcome Back to our 

Leadership Training Program Teens!  

At our first meeting after summer break, we started off with an ice cream social to welcome everyone back. After that, we began our session on “What is Philanthropy?”  To learn about it, some of the teen board members pitched different organizations to the rest of the group as if they were appealing to the rest of us for money. Then, we split into groups and pretended to be philanthropic boards and discussed which organizations we would give our money to and why. We discussed what made a pitch good and why people choose different organizations.

For the last part of the meeting, we were lucky enough to hear from some real  philanthropists from our community – Eliot Arnovitz, Judith Cohen, and Andy Deutsch – who spoke to us about how they got involved. Each had their own reason to get involved with “ah-ha” moments that inspired them to do more. Overall the meeting was a great insight into what philanthropy is, why people choose to donate, and how they decide to donate their time, money and talent.  Thank you so much to our speakers who took time out of their busy lives to participate in our meeting.
