Charity Gifts for Children's Health Care of Atlanta

Jackson Pruett, 13, of Dallas, GA, who is the son of Lana Pruett, of Dallas, GA and Brandon and Jessica Pruett of Taylorsville, GA decided to something special for his birthday this year!
When he asked his friends to come over for his party, he decided to do something out of the ordinary! He asked his friends, in his invitation, not to include a gift for him. He asked that they help him by donating to his charity of choice, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Jackson researched what was needed and board games were on their wish list. Each child attending his party was asked to bring a board game to help with this special request. The children attended Jackson’s party with a genuine love for others and I have never been prouder of each of them. To watch them all come into my home with gifts for others that they have never met, was a delight! They were making a difference in someone else’s life!
After the party, I contacted my friend Jay Cunningham of Superior Plumbing and his team put me in touch with Pam Younker of CHOA. Pam was so excited for Jackson to come into the new Children’s at Town Center Outpatient Care Center. On Saturday, February 24, 2018, Pam met us with open arms! She gave us a personal and behind the scene tour of the new facility. Also, she spoke with Jackson about all of what and who Children’s take care of while explaining to him the importance of volunteers and donors.
