To our Special Needs Cobb family, This has been a season filled with so much celebration.

But behind that celebration, we have also been carrying tremendous heartbreak. On August 7, we unexpectedly lost someone very dear to us, Frank Hiott—SNC parent, longtime volunteer, golf tournament chairman, and, most importantly, our friend. If you knew Frank, you knew his warmth, his wonderful sense of humor, and that little mischievous streak that so often kept us laughing. He had a way of making things more fun just by being there, and each of us on staff had our own special relationship with him. Frank’s stepson, Phillip, has called one of our group homes home for more than 20 years, and his wife, Kay Hiott, is our beloved Board President Emeritus. For years, Frank also poured his heart into our annual golf tournament, connecting with golfers, donors and guests and helping make the event what it is today. It is only fitting that beginning this year, the tournament he gave so much to will permanently bear his name: the Frank Hiott Memorial Golf Classic. We miss you, Frank—your jokes, your mischievous grin, and mostly, just having you around. The golf course won’t be the same without you. But from now on, your name will always be part of it. 💙
