Pro Humanitate in Action
WAKEAtlanta started the 2025–26 school year off strong with an afternoon of great company, delicious treats and generous spirits at the Atlanta Kick-off Party on September 7, 2025. Thanks to the incredible bunch who came out to celebrate at Chastain Park, Garden Hills Elementary School received a donation of 21 backpacks full of school supplies. What an incredible display of Pro Humanitate in the community we call home!
