𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤?

A lot. On 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐎𝐜𝐭 𝟓, 2026 we had the chance to celebrate the businesses that believe they can be a force for good in our community. We gathered in the 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐊 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫—a fitting setting for an evening about what can happen when businesses, nonprofits and community leaders come together with a shared commitment to take Cobb to new heights. From strengthening nonprofits and helping launch Circles Cobb to understanding community needs through Cobb Vital Signs and helping employers explore new ways to make childcare more affordable for working families, CCF’s Corporate Champions are helping create the capacity to see opportunities, bring people together and take action. And that's what made the evening so meaningful: not simply what one organization can do, but 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. To all of our Corporate Champions, thank you for being part of it—and to everyone who joined us Monday, thank you for the conversation, the ideas and the energy. We're grateful to be building a stronger Cobb together. 💚 #CobbCounty #CobbCommunityFoundation #CorporateChampions #CorporateGiving #CommunityImpact #AboveAndBeyond
