Benefiting Special K's

For over 30 years, Special K's has provided competition and training for athletes with special needs in north Fulton and the surrounding areas.  Special K's is a local agency of Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA).  Based in Johns Creek, Special K's continues to be the reigning Agency of the Year for SOGA (out of over 200 agencies).

Benefiting Jonny and Xena's Foundation

The Jonny and Xena's Spread the Words Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, was founded because of the miraculous story of Jonny and Xena. Jonny was diagnosed with Autism and lived a very quiet life until he met Xena, a severely abused dog who was given a less than 1% chance of survival. Miraculously Xena beat every odd against her, but her miracles didn't end there. Xena became Jonny's companion dog and changed the life of a boy living with Autism.
