Corvette Cruisers of Atlanta is proud to announce that we will be supporting two new charities in 2023with our Corvettes for a Cause Corvette and Camaro Show!
Meeting three afternoons a week from 1:00 - 5:00, our members are a part of a stimulating, social environment that offers opportunities to "grow" or at least maintain skills. Each afternoon's schedule includes an unstructured, but supported social interaction time, a group cooking experience, a recreational activity and an enrichment opportunity through games, presentations, projects, special visitors, etc. All programming is designed to be goal oriented and adapted for individual success.
Beyond the Ribbon was established in 2017 by a group of cancer survivors and caregivers, to do our part to alleviate some lifelong emotional, physical, and financial stressors that patients face. At the beginning of a cancer journey, stressors are especially impactful, but many do not realize that a cancer diagnosis and treatments may have lifelong effects. Some other programs provide support to patients as they undergo surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and/or other initial treatments. Our programs support patients as they navigate their decisions and feelings of initial treatments, and as they transition into their post-cancer “new normal” and beyond.
Although financial challenges are common to cancer patients, it is especially disconcerting for those faced with making choices to pay household bills, rent, medical bills or provide food for their family. Without assistance, some patients go without necessities such as proper nourishment, shelter, prescriptions, and medical care. Our Jane’s Closet program addresses these needs by the short-term provision of non-perishable food, gift cards, gas cards or financial support so patients do not have to make difficult decisions about their family’s livelihood.
We also host Back to School bags for our cancer families, Survivor Spa Days and we adopt families for Christmas. In 2022 was our biggest year to date! We were able to adopt 28 families, 47 children and feeding 91 individuals!
We go beyond to support patients throughout their lifelong journey. Our firsthand experience as survivors and caregivers allows us to provide personal insight, resources, and relatable support.
We are a group of Corvette enthusiasts who love to give back to our community.
We always have been and we always will be!
