🎉 What an unforgettable night at the Let’s Shine Gala hosted by Neway Works, Inc.!

Grateful Giving Foundation (GGF) and Rick Young Insurance (RYIS) were proud Platinum & Matching Sponsors for this incredible event supporting the next generation of student-athletes.

Rick Young, Denise Young and the GGF Board were surrounded by young champions like Jordan McDaniel ( #1 ranked 9th-grade Point Guard in the nation), Eden Vinyard (Top-10 11th-grade Forward), their amazing families, many other student-athletes, and Neway Works' Founder Shane Gianino; the energy was electric as we celebrated resilience, excellence, and opportunity.

Together, we’re proving that when community comes together, young dreams don’t just stay dreams—they come true. ✨

Thank you, Neway Works, Inc. for everything you do. We’re honored to stand with you!

🎉CELEBRATION MOMENT: We have been working behind the scenes to support Love For A Child with the amazing students, parents, and staff of Troy Athens High School 😁 ...

A few months ago, we informed Troy Athens that our Foundation will MATCH whatever they raise during their annual charity week. We knew they had raised an amazing amount last year, so our expectations were high and we were hopeful that we could do even more together this year.

We are elated to announce that the amazing people of Troy Athens raised a total of $166,439.53 🤩 That, along side of our matching donation, brings the total to a record shattering $332,879.06!!! 🥳

Our hearts were full as we celebrated the news with the amazing students and staff at the High School today, and we hope you will celebrate alongside us as well!

Thank you to the Troy School District the Athens Student Council, Rick Young Insurance & Rick Young, all of the local sponsors, and everyone that helped make this amazing achievement happen!

We truly are
