The sun made a special appearance just in time for our annual Summer Family Reunion Adventure!
On Sunday, July 28th nearly 70 families reunited at our 15th annual Summer Family Reunion Adventure – that is more than 350 people in attendance! Including 6 out-of-state families from Charleston, Indiana and Michigan. No one can turn down a splash bash in this Georgia heat fueled by our generous friends at Gas South!
A huge thank you to Gas Southfor sponsoring all of our family reunions in 2024! These reunions cost roughly $50,000 each so having their gracious hearts create continued VIP moments for our families has been such a huge blessing!
The families, along with our staff and dedicated volunteers, gathered at Life Time in Sandy Springs to swim, ride the waterslides, connect, and enjoy the last few moments of summer together. A big thank you to Life Time for closing the pool so our families could have an exclusive pool party together!
We kicked off the pool party with some delicious food generously donated by Zaxby’s—there is nothing quite as delicious as chicken fingerz, signature chicken sandwiches, and house zalads fueling a fun-filled day! Thank you for everything you do for our families, Zaxby’s!
DJ Willy T, aka Tommy from The Bert Show, kept the party rocking with his amazing DJ skills. You can always find a group of kids taking over the pool deck, making requests, and dancing between trips in the pool. Thank you, Tommy, for always taking our annual pool party to the next level!
We were also joined by the delicious Kona Ice! Kona Ice is an insane snow cone truck that lets you top your snow cone with epic flavors like Groovy Grape and Blue Raspberry. Let’s just say there were lots of purple and blue-stained faces. Thank you to Kona Ice for providing such a fun dessert option for our families!
Our friends at Eco Tech Services donated all of the water and Gatorade for the event—which was so needed due to the heat! Thank you to Mike and the entire Eco Tech team for keeping us hydrated!
Button It Up Photo/Video Booth also joined us, and the kiddos had a blast having their photos taken! Their team customized photos for our families to treasure as keepsakes and even matched our tiki theme. Thank you, Button It Up!
Last but not least, thank you to our wonderful photographers and videographers for capturing all the amazing moments at the reunion! Cassandra Young from The Bert Show, Amanda W. Coker with Dash Photography, Zach Thomas with Monarch Studio, Sarah Witherington with Sarah Esther Photography, Seth Ferreira with Salt Run Creative, and Aslyn Baringer with Aslyn Baringer Productions are the magic behind the cameras, and we are so grateful for them!
We will all look back on the day as one of the best days of summer, and we couldn’t have done it without all the gracious help of our volunteers, sponsors, photographers and videographers and staff!
