Children’s Museum of Atlanta Receives $2,500 from CareSource

CareSource, Georgia's first and only nonprofit managed care organization, presented the Children's Museum of Atlanta with a check for $2,500

CareSource, Georgia’s first and only nonprofit managed care organization, presented the Children’s Museum of Atlanta with a check for $2,500 as a part of the People’s Choice Grant Awards.

Since 2010 the CareSource People’s Choice Grant Award has been an employee driven investment into the nonprofits that are closest to their hearts. CareSource team members are given the opportunity, each quarter, to nominate, vote on, and ultimately award grants to their favorite nonprofits. Since the initial call, $445,000 have been invested into nonprofits of our employee’s choosing.

“The Children’s Museum of Atlanta is an invaluable asset to the Atlanta community,” said Bobby Jones, president of the Georgia market for CareSource. “We are honored to present the $2,500 People’s Choice Grant Award to help fund the indispensable services the organization provides to the community.”
