Take a minute or two—think of your friends, family, coworkers, church members, or gym buddies. There’s a good chance you or someone you care greatly for has had to rely on the team at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta (CHOA) to care for their little one when in need.
From offering treatments for childhood cancers and blood disorders to performing pediatric surgeries and testing new allergy management strategies, families trust the specialists at CHOA to provide the highest level of care and attention for their children in need.
A not-for-profit organization, CHOA is one of the largest pediatric clinical care providers in the United States. In fact, they’ve serviced more than 400,000 patients in Georgia alone!
At Kelly Products, Inc., we believe in investing in a brighter future for generations to come. To better align our passions and goals as a company and as individuals, we strive to continually support both regenerative agricultural practices and the team at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Again this year, CHOA is hosting its Spring Classic baseball game between the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the Spring Classic. This fundraiser has helped raise more than $3.5 million since its start in 2003. This year, proceeds will specifically benefit the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. The event will be held on Sunday, March 5, at Coolray Field.
