Thank you to everyone for your support at this year's C5 Georgia "Celebrating What's Possible," honoring the 2026 Graduates of our program. We enjoyed a special evening hearing from our graduates and several C5 alumni.
Check out the above video for remarks from 2026 class speaker Jackie Garcia and 2019 alumni Sandra Perez. Their eloquent words reflect the profound impact the C5 Georgia program has on the hundreds of young people who have participated over the years.
The journey of a C5 Georgia teen opens doors to new adventures, learning opportunities, leadership roles, and personal growth. The program provides a safe space that encourages our teens to reach their full potential.
We extend our gratitude to all who supported this event, including our long-time presenting sponsor, Smurfit Westrock, who not only supported the event but also provided scholarships to five deserving seniors for their community service. Special thanks to Novelis for their ongoing support, including scholarships for two students to attend a STEM program at Georgia Tech this summer.
