Sponsors, Guests, and Donors—Thank You for Your Support
On May 13th, SGA held it's Annual Benefit Luncheon to raise funds to benefit the children, youth, and families that SGA serves. This unforgettable event was led by NBC 5's LeeAnn Trotter. We honored an outstanding student from Higher Sights, our college readiness and retention program, with the prestigious Joseph Pedott Youth Leadership Award, as well as a dedicated therapist who works with youth in SGA's programs. Our keynote speaker was Erin Gruwell—renowned educator, founder of the Freedom Writers Foundation, and author. Thank you to all who sponsored, attended, and donated to our signature event.
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
