💙🌟Five-Year Impact Report 🌟💙
Spreading Joy and Hope. Strengthening Community. Changing Lives.
Over the past five years, PWB Joy of Hope Foundation has been privileged to serve our community with compassion, purpose, and action. What began as a way to honor our sweet Parker has grown into a sustained effort to meet real needs, uplift vulnerable populations, and create meaningful, lasting impact within our community.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, partners, and volunteers, we have been able to reinvest every dollar raised directly back into our community and extend hope to thousands of individuals and families.

💙 Community Partnerships & Outreach
🤝Strong partnerships allow us to extend our mission beyond direct service and inspire others to give back. In 2021, the Georgia Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) selected PWB Joy of Hope Foundation as its Philanthropy Partner for the Spring Institute held at Callaway Gardens.
During the event, our leadership shared the Foundation’s mission and vision, encouraging attendees to live a life rooted in generosity and paying it forward. HFMA participants also assembled 100 school supply bags, which were donated to several of our partner charities—directly supporting children and families in need.
🤝Education and inspiration are essential to building a stronger, more compassionate future. In 2022, PWB Joy of Hope Foundation had the opportunity to speak with high school students at King’s Ridge Christian School in support of their upcoming food drive benefiting The Place.
During this visit, students were introduced to the Foundation’s mission and encouraged to reflect on perspective, personal responsibility, and the power of showing grace. Our message emphasized that everyone has a story—and that meaningful impact can begin with just one person choosing to help.
This engagement marked the beginning of a meaningful partnership rooted in service, generosity, and a shared commitment to caring for the community.
🤝In 2023, PWB Joy of Hope Foundation was honored to partner with Jersey Mike’s Subs – Coal Mountain during its grand opening celebration.
Through this community fundraiser, supporters were invited to donate to the Foundation in exchange for a complimentary sub, generating both financial support and increased awareness for our work. This partnership reflects the power of local businesses and community members coming together to make a meaningful difference. Donations from this event were donated to CHOA in honor of Kaylee Stephens.

Together, we are building Joy and Hope — one act of kindness at a time. 💙
