Thanks to everyone who joined us at Dunwoody Tavern for this year’s fundraiser benefiting the Landon Padgett Patient Family Assistance Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta! 🙏

Because of your generosity and the continued support of our amazing sponsors, we’re thrilled to share we’ve officially met our 2025 goal of $5,000! 💪

Each dollar raised helps families whose children are receiving cardiac care at CHOA with essentials like food, lodging, transportation, and prescriptions so they can focus on what matters most: being present for their child.

This event holds a special place in our hearts. Dunwoody Tavern was one of Landon’s local spots, and seeing friends, family, and community come together there to carry forward his spirit of compassion and care made the evening even more meaningful. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, or helped spread the word. Your support ensures Landon’s legacy continues to make a real difference for families facing unimaginable challenges. 💙

Here’s to keeping this spirit going strong as we look ahead to 2026 and beyond! For more information about our programs, click on the link in our bio 🔥
