Appalachian Children’s Center is proud to announce the launch of their first-ever fundraising competition, Champions for Children. This unique initiative is a philanthropic showdown that brings together nominated community leaders who are passionate advocates of ACC’s mission – to promote safety and stability for at-risk families, children, and individuals in Coastal Georgia communities.

Our team of ten champions will go head-to-head over the next eight weeks, using their creativity and fundraising skills to inspire the community to donate to ACC. With each dollar donated, the candidate will receive one vote, and the candidate with the most votes at the end of the campaign will be crowned the Ultimate Champion for Children.

But this competition is not just about winning the title. The Champions for Children campaign is an opportunity for the community to support a cause that makes a tangible difference in the lives of children and youth in need. Unfortunately, many children and youth in Fannin, Gilmer and Pickens Counties face poverty, leaving them vulnerable to abuse, neglect, and homelessness.  The ACC is dedicated to serving these children and families and providing them with the resources and support they need to thrive.

All of our Champions’ campaigns will culminate in an exciting event on November ________ at ___________________. This event is an opportunity for the community to come together in celebration of all our Champions have accomplished over the previous eight weeks. The event will feature live music, food, kid-friendly activities, and our award ceremony, creating an atmosphere of excitement and competition. Don’t miss out on this incredible event that supports a cause that truly makes a difference in the lives of children and families in need.
