Growth, Gifting & Community: Specially Gifted Foundation’s Impact in 2025

Kendall Kernion

⛳️ LAST CALL FOR PLAYERS! Five years. One course. A community that keeps showing up. 💛 Our 5th Annual Specially Gifted Golf Tournament, sponsored by Amwins, is almost here and we have a few final player spots left. Swipe through for a look back at last year’s tournament and the community that makes this day so special! Every player helps Specially Gifted Foundation expand opportunity for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers and foster inclusive communities where all abilities can thrive. Because opportunity should never depend on ability. 💛 🏌️ 18 holes 🏆 Contests + prizes 🎁 Raffles + auction 🍽️ Food + drinks 🤝 An incredible day for an incredible cause Register at the link in our bio!! PS. Shoutout to our photographer behind these amazing photos from the day @brittanysloan.llc !! We’re so grateful for our creative partners over the years.

Six years ago, this was just an idea. 💛 Today, it’s a foundation built by an entire community: families, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and partners who believed opportunity should never depend on ability. And this little clip? It’s only the beginning of the story. Six years in, we’re stepping into a new chapter for SGF, and we sat down to share it with you. A refreshed mission. A new way of showing up for families across Georgia. And a heartfelt thank you to the community that made all of it possible. Watch the full story, link in our bio. ⭐️ Because you built this. And the next chapter belongs to all of us. PS. We know the full video (5 minutes) is a lot in a world of 15-second scrolls. 😉 So over the next couple of months, we’ll unpack what this next chapter means, one piece at a time. Follow along! sgf | disabilities | nonprofit organization | Georgia nonprofit | community support | inclusive community | disability inclusion

This Mother’s Day, we’re reflecting on where it all began. 💛 This video shares one of SGF’s very first giftings in 2020, supporting Jonas and his family as they navigate life with significant medical needs. In the video, Jonas’ mom Andrea shares a perspective many in the disability community know well, often referred to as the “Welcome to Holland” essay by Emily Perl Kingsley. It’s a reminder that this journey may look different than expected, but still holds meaning and beauty in its own way. She also shared this: “Life with a special needs child can be isolating and frightening… but in the midst of it, there is much hope and many blessings to find.” 🩵 Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside mothers and caregivers who live this reality every day, showing up with strength, resilience, and unwavering love in ways the world may never fully see. This weekend, we honor them. If you have a few minutes, we invite you to watch Jonas’ full story on our YouTube channel or linked on Facebook. Happy Mother’s Day from Specially Gifted Foundation 🫶🏼

Spring in the Valley has been one of the most meaningful parts of our journey over the past five years. It began in 2021, in a time when people were craving connection more than ever. We created it as a space for the community to come together in a way that felt fun, welcoming, and truly inclusive. Live music. Local vendors.Food trucks. Kids of all abilities playing side by side. It quickly became something really special. But what mattered most was never just the event itself. Each year, Spring in the Valley made something deeper possible… direct support for families across Northwest Georgia. Through the support of this community — including sponsors, volunteers, and families — children received adaptive equipment, therapy tools, accessibility support, and experiences that created lasting memories. Over time, that impact has grown into tens of thousands of dollars directly gifted to families. As we’ve grown, so has our community. There are now more inclusive events, more opportunities, and more ways for families to connect than when we first started, and that’s a good thing. So we asked ourselves: 🌟Where can we create the deepest impact now? And with that clarity, we’ve made the decision to move forward without Spring in the Valley. Instead, we’re focusing on what has always been at the core of our mission, directly supporting families and creating meaningful, life-changing opportunities. The heart behind Spring in the Valley is not going away. It’s becoming more focused, more intentional, and more impactful. If you’ve supported Spring in the Valley, we invite you to continue that impact with us. (link in bio) Because this has never just been about an event. It’s about families and what’s possible for them. We also want to recognize the sponsors who stood beside us over the years. A special thank you to @dr.seanostrowski and @relentlesschiropractic , our presenting sponsor for three consecutive years, for your unwavering belief in this event and the families we serve. And to every sponsor, partner, and local business — this impact would not have been possible without you. 💛

Our little bunnies 🐰💛 Here on earth and angels in heaven. This past Easter, we held space for every story. The joy, the love, the milestones, and the ones we carry with us always. To our SGF families… you are seen, you are loved, and you are never alone. We carry you with us — always. 🩵💛 #SGFCommunity #HappyEaster #DisabilityCommunity #GriefAndLove

Earlier this year, we shared that 2025 marked a milestone; 66 families gifted since 2020 🥳💛 But impact isn’t just a number. In 2025 alone: • 10 families received life-changing gifts • $53,000 was raised at our annual Golf Tournament • Over 2,000 gathered at Spring in the Valley • More than 3,000 families were reached across Georgia through community events and resources What we are building is more than gifting. It’s connection. It’s access. It’s belonging. For six years, Specially Gifted Foundation has walked alongside families caring for children with disabilities — providing special gifts and opportunities, beneficial resources, and a sense of community. And we are truly grateful for every family, partner, and donor who made 2025 possible. 👉 Our full 2025 Impact Report is now live. Link in bio.

⭐️ Meet our Kendall, aka KK ⭐️ At the heart of our story is Kendall — a girl whose joy is truly contagious and whose spirit lights up every room she enters. Kendall’s life is a beautiful reminder of the power of unconditional love and the impact one person can have simply by being exactly who they are. 🫶 Growing up alongside Kendall gave her sister, Co-founder Bree Lanham, a deep and personal understanding of both the challenges and the incredible blessings that come with loving a child with disabilities. That lived experience shaped Bree’s passion for advocating for families walking similar journeys. Inspired by Kendall and guided by that passion, Bree joined forces with Co-founder Macey who was Kendall’s devoted therapy facilitator back in the day and has a heart for serving the special needs community. Together, their shared experiences and calling led to the founding of Specially Gifted Foundation in 2020 that was built on hope, love, and steadfast support for families who need it most. 🎀 To learn more about what drives our team’s passion, visit SpecialllyGifted.org 💻 sgf | children with disabilities | nonprofit organization | georgia nonprofit | special needs parent | support families | community support | partnerships | better together

🎉✨ WE DID IT! ✨🎉 Because of YOU, we officially hit 100 percent of our Giving Tuesday 2025 goal in the last hour! Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. On a day dedicated to giving, our community showed up in the most incredible way for Evan and his family, and the impact of your generosity will be felt far beyond this moment. 💙 This year Evan began kindergarten in a special needs school that truly supports his growth. His parents, Cheryl and Jamie, have walked through both heartbreak and hope in recent years, and the weight of providing a specialized education has been a heavy one to carry. But this Giving Tuesday, you helped lighten that load. This Giving Tuesday, you reminded them that they are not walking this road alone. 💛 Because of your giving spirit, Evan will continue learning, growing, finding his voice, building his independence, and thriving in the environment he deserves. You helped open the door to possibility. You helped a family feel relief. You helped a little boy reach for milestones that once felt out of reach. 🌟 Your kindness says, “We see you. We’re with you. Keep going.” And because of you, they can. Thank you for rallying behind Evan’s journey and for believing in the mission of Specially Gifted Foundation. You made this Giving Tuesday unforgettable and you made hope happen. 💙🙏 #GivingTuesday #SGF #Community | Georgia Nonprofit | Give Back

Next year Evan will be at a private special needs school that offers the specialized support he needs to continue thriving.

🎁 GIFTING ALERT 🎁 SGF is thrilled to share another gifting update! Jacob and his family were gifted a back yard refresh which included demolition of their back porch and a brand new play set! Now, Jacob and his brother, Eli can play together safely! 🩵 Here’s what his mom, Julia had to say on Gifting Day: “Jacob and Eli’s playset arrived!! They love it and we know it will bring many years of play and fun. They have already set up a bunch of cars and trucks in it. For Perry and I, being able to share our family’s story and then feel so seen and supported was the gift for us. Looking out our kitchen window and seeing the beautiful new Playset will be a daily reminder for us that Jacob and our family have accomplished a lot and that there are many fun and brighter days ahead for us.” We’re excited to add this sweet family to our SGF community! 🫶 This special gift was made possible by our generous donors and supporters! SGF would not exist without those who believe in our mission.

Remember Jayden and his incredible family?! They are one of the two families gifted from the proceeds of Spring in the Valley 2025! 💛 Thanks to the overwhelming support of our community (and shout out to @disneytravelmom.wendi for her expertise in travel), we were able to send Jayden, his mom, dad, and brother on a much-needed family getaway to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee 🏞️✨ From relaxing in a beautiful cabin to full days of fun adventures, Jayden’s mom said it best: “It was so nice to be away from all the chaos and just enjoy one another… I feel that it helped make us closer as a family, which is what I have prayed for for years. This meant the absolute world.” This is what your support makes possible. 💫 Because of YOU, families like Jayden’s get the chance to pause, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

For us, community isn’t just important—it’s the heart of everything we do. 💛 Our mission is rooted in the belief that no family caring for a child with disabilities should ever feel isolated. We aim to not only enrich the lives of these families by way of a special gift for their family, but by helping build a sense of community and togetherness. 🤝 Through every gifting, every event (especially Spring in the Valley Festival🎪), and every connection we make, our goal is to build a village where families feel seen, supported, and surrounded by love. This isn’t just support—it’s the feeling of belonging. 🩵 Through the relationships built through SGF, families in our community have been able to lift each other up, share beneficial resources with one another, and bring important needs for other families similar to theirs to our attention so we can pass those along. 👏 We’re grateful for the lifelong relationships built within our community! We love our people! 🫶 📸: Spring in the Valley Festival 2025 captured by HannerJoy Photography ♥️ It Takes a Village | These are my People | Community | NWGA | Atlanta | Georgia Nonprofit | Special Needs Community | Children with Disabilities | Parent Support | Friends Forever | You’ve got a Friend in Me | Rome GA | Marietta GA

This month, we celebrate Kendall🎈 — the heart💗 behind Specially Gifted Foundation. As the sister of our co-founder Bree and the reason SGF was born, Kendall is our constant motivation to reach more families like hers. Growing up alongside Kendall gave Bree a unique perspective on the beauty and complexity of life with a sibling who has a disability and requires full-time care. 🤝 That experience, combined with the shared passion of co-founder Macey, sparked a vision to support other families on similar journeys. 🫶 Because of Kendall, SGF exists 🎁 — and continues to grow — as a source of hope, love, and community for families across Georgia who care for children with disabilities.
