Dec 18, 2023 — Georgia Kids Belong recently was in the news recently to raise awareness for the need for more foster and adoptive parents, and showcasing how its Foster Friendly App unite businesses and churches to support area foster families.
University of Georgia cheerleaders volunteer at I Belong Project Shoot on-campus. The I Belong Project offers kids in foster care, who are eligible to be adopted, a fun and therapeutic day and captures their faces and voices on video to help them find adoptive families.
Falcons Linebacker Kaden Ellis Supports Georgia Kids Belong
NFL players recently wore customized cleats to recognize a charity of their choice as part of the My Cause My Cleats campaign. We were delighted to learn that Atlanta Falcons linebacker Kaden Elliss selected Georgia Kids Belong.
NFL players “wear their hearts on their feet” through My Cause My Cleats where they have the opportunity to choose a cause that is important to them and represent it on custom designed cleats. Players then have the option to donate their cleats to NFL Auction where you can make their custom cleats yours. All proceeds from sales go to the respective causes selected by players.
