We had a great time meeting some new potential volunteers a few weeks ago at the DeKalb County Volunteer Fair at the Egyptian Theater.

You can support us again later this week, as we prepare for Give DeKalb County Day on Thursday, May 7th. Just visit https://www.givedekalbcounty.org/organizations/act-of-grace to plan your gift today.

Every dollar (and volunteer) helps us serve DeKalb County youth with epilepsy and their immediate families. Join our mission today!

💜 Standing Together for Purple Day 💜

Today, the Bockman’s Auto, Truck & Tire team is wearing purple ribbons in support of Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness. This cause is especially close to our hearts—one of our amazing team members in DeKalb has a loved one who battles epilepsy, and we’re standing with him in solidarity.

Epilepsy affects millions of people worldwide, yet it’s often misunderstood. Today, we’re doing our part to spread awareness, show support, and remind those living with epilepsy that they are never alone.

If you see us rocking our purple, know it’s more than just a color—it’s a statement of support, love, and awareness. 💜
