“I’m Thriving.” That’s what 70 years of Special Needs Cobb is really about.

If you’ve driven past one of our billboards around Cobb County this year, you’ve seen some of the incredible people at the heart of our mission. People who have a safe place to call home. People who are connected to their communities. People who are thriving. For 70 years, Special Needs Cobb has stood alongside individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Today, that legacy continues through lifelong housing, family resources, education, and connection. And on Saturday, August 15, we’re putting that legacy 'Up in Lights.' Join us at the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre on Marietta Square for an Old Hollywood-inspired celebration with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, live entertainment, and seven decades of stories worth celebrating. This isn't your typical fundraising dinner. It's a party 70 years in the making. Come celebrate the people who started it, the people who carried it forward, and—most importantly—the people who remind us why this work matters. August 15 | 6:30-8:30 PM | Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre | Marietta Square 🎟️ There’s still time to join us. Reserve your tickets today. Link in bio.
