"When people support Families First, they are strengthening family resiliency and giving hope.”

Loving the Legacy was a beautiful reflection of what 135 years of Families First has made possible—stronger families, healthier communities, and generations of hope across Atlanta.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us, supported this special evening, and helped honor the resilience, love, and legacy that continue to shape our city. We were also proud to raise $318K+ in support of Families First core programs: Navigator Services, Vance Center for Behavioral Health, and Parenting & Adoption Support Services.

Your presence and partnership remind us that when we invest in families, we invest in a brighter future for all.

Thank you for being part of a celebration 135 years in the making 💚
