An unforgettable evening ✨ Last night, we looked around a room filled with people who believe deeply in what we do - and more importantly, in the children and families we serve.

It’s hard to put into words what that meant to us. Our Starry Nights Gala, presented by Coldwell Banker Reality, was full of so much joy - an amazing silent auction, delicious food, dueling pianos, dancing, laughter, and a whole lot of fun. But underneath it all was a purpose that means everything to us: making sure children across Metro Atlanta have nutritious food to take home on Fridays, so they can spend their weekends being kids instead of worrying about their next meal. To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, partners, friends, and every single person who helped bring this night to life - from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you. 💙 And to our incredible co-chairs, Kelly Dennis and Yolanda Lu Thompson - we truly cannot thank you enough. Your time, heart, generosity, and dedication to the mission of Backpack Buddies made this evening possible. So much of what made this night special is because of the love and work you poured into it. We left last night with very full hearts and an even greater belief in what’s possible when this community comes together. What a night. 💙✨ #backpackbuddies #bpbma #starrynightsgala #childhoodhunger #metroatlanta
