This year, our Golf Classic will be held Tuesday, October 12 at the Alpharetta Athletic Club East Course. We anticipate hosting more than 100 golfers as we raise funds to support our mission of enabling those we serve to enjoy greater independence and full community inclusion. More specifically, the funds raised will go towards paying for medical and dental care not covered by Medicaid, as well as for the upkeep of our fleet of vans used to transport the individuals to and from their jobs, volunteer commitments, places of worship, and more.

Presenting Sponsorships are available for sponsors seeking extraordinary recognition and visibility. Annual Premier Sponsors support enAble on an annual basis and receive special recognition at every major event. For pricing and to discuss these two levels of support, please contact Dean Jordan at djordan@enablega.org or 770-664-4347, ext. 108.

We are very grateful to two enAble supporters for their funding that allowed the purchase of a new 2010 Toyota Sienna passenger van for the Old Ellis Road Day Services center.
 
The Ida Alice Ryan Charitable Trust was established in 1953 to support Atlanta-based charitable institutions. enAble applied to the trust in 2009 for a grant, and received majority funding for the van's purchase through our Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Program. Additionally, Automation Direct, a locally-based player in the industrial automation market, founded in 1994, provided funding to help complete the purchase.
 
enAble appreciates these generous donor organizations that understand that their gifts are not only being used to support a large fleet of vehicles, but more importantly, what the vehicles do.
 
In Atlanta's car-centric environment, our vehicles are used to connect the people we serve to their jobs, houses of worship, volunteer commitments, program services, medical and dental appointments, and all of the myriad errands and activities that round out a person's life. Without support from the Ida Alice Ryan Charitable Trust, Automation Direct, and many others, it would be exceedingly difficult to maintain the comfort and safety of enAble's fleet of 24 vehicles.

Willie Grove, an 11-year enAble staff member, is the winner of ANCOR's (American Network of Community Options and Resources) 2010 Georgia Direct Support Professional of the Year. Willie is a humble, thoughtful person who has served a total of 28 years in the field and enhanced the lives of many by supporting their independence and connections to natural supports in the community.

 

Everyday, Willie works to establish person-centered supports for those he serves at enAble by indentifying through collaborative, professional relationships with individuals and all support team members, the preferences and individual needs indicated by each person. Ask any of the individuals served and they will all agree that Willie has a deep voice and a gentle soul that touch their lives in many ways. Willie believes that good interventions can make the world a better place for all people.

 

ANCOR's 2008 and 2009 Georgia Direct Support Professional of the Year winners, Silvia Flockhart and Steve Harris, respectively, are also enAble staff members. We are incredibly proud of our staff and the positive impact they have on those they serve and the community.

The home of Tom and Michelle Davis proved to be a fabulous environment for enAble's second Wine Auction. Not only was the event a financial success, but it was also a marvelous assemblage of people enjoying an exceptional experience. 

 

Said Auctioneer Matt Holiday, "The intimate setting created a wonderful spirit of giving that many organizations struggle to achieve...I'm not sure all non profits could pull off what you did...You were able to bring together the people you serve, family, and their friends in a lovely  home with good food and wine." One of the highlights of the evening was individuals served partaking in the bidding festivities. They paired with donors and laughter filled the room during this competitive bidding process.

 

We are truly grateful to all who helped make this evening a success.
