The purpose of the event is to raise funds to support the mission of enAble of Georgia, to support people with special needs so they may lead fulfilled lives- physically, intellectually, and socially. The funds raised will help maintain the 18 group homes that enAble currently operates, and will help bridge the gap between Medicaid funding received by those we serve and the actual costs associated with fully supporting each individual.

enAble of Georgia was founded in 1979 by a group of parents seeking a place in their community and greater independence for their sons and daughters with developmental disabilities. enAble currently supports more than 120 adults with developmental disabilities in Metro Atlanta. All services provided by enAble focus on helping individuals become as independent as possible and to be a contributing, included member of their community.
