Our University of Georgia - Leadership Dawgs worked with Georgia-based nonprofits to execute Community Impact Projects (CIPs) and the three most impactful groups were awarded grants to help fund their nonprofits into the future.
On March 1-2, we held our third University of Georgia - Leadership Dawgs Conference at the Terry Executive Education Center in Atlanta. Leadership Dawgs worked with Georgia-based nonprofits to execute Community Impact Projects (CIPs) and the three most impactful groups were awarded grants to help fund their nonprofits into the future. We want to recognize these three CIP projects' lasting impact on their communities. First Place: Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer The Leadership Dawg participants partnered with Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer to host a 5k Fun Run in Athens, GA. Hosting this inaugural event in an area outside Atlanta was an important organizational milestone in expanding the impact and reach of the organization. The team of, Katie Kraft, Sarah Geary, Claire Williams, and Anna Hemmati, raised $13,310 from the event, which can go directly towards screening and diagnostic mammograms. Second Place: Helping Mamas, Inc. Helping Mamas, the baby supply bank for Georgia, needed assistance in becoming a more data-driven organization with strategies to better serve high-need areas across the state. Leadership Dawgs, Stephanie Purvis, Sidney Counsell, Leanna Brown, and Katie Waters, completed a community needs assessment to identify unique high-need areas and connected the organization to 45 potential new distribution partners. Third Place: Camp Horizon, Inc Camp Horizon serves youth and families impacted by foster care in the metro Atlanta area, restoring hope and dignity to end the cycle of abuse and neglect. Leadership Dawgs, David Floyd, Meryl Preis, Anesia Sanderifer, and Wilheem Perez, executed their project by designing a mentorship program and outlined effective program management strategies and an evaluation timeline.
