This year’s 9th Annual Family Promise Cobb Golf Classic was an unforgettable event that exceeded all expectations, not only in participation but also in the sense of community it fostered. Held under perfect skies, the tournament brought together golf enthusiasts, local businesses, and passionate volunteers, all united by one purpose: to support Family Promise Cobb and raise critical funds for families experiencing homelessness. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, we were able to raise an astounding $58,000—funds that will go a long way in helping families in Cobb County find stability and hope in difficult times.
Coming Together for a Worthy Cause

This year’s Golf Classic was a shining example of what can happen when a community bands together for a shared cause. From the morning tee-off to the last swing, the atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and generosity. Players of all skill levels came out, not just to enjoy a great day on the course, but to play a part in building a better future for families who need it the most. With the growing number of families facing housing insecurity, the funds raised will help Family Promise Cobb continue to provide critical services such as shelter, meals, transportation, and job assistance.
As our biggest fundraising event of the year, the Golf Classic is not only a day of fun but also a powerful reminder of the good we can accomplish together. The success of this year’s tournament wouldn’t have been possible without the collective efforts of our sponsors, volunteers, and participants—each playing a vital role in making the day such a remarkable success.

Celebrating Our Golf Chair, Joy Jones

This year’s Golf Classic was also marked by an emotional farewell to our beloved Golf Chair, Joy Jones. Joy has been an indispensable part of the Family Promise Cobb Golf Classic for the past five years, dedicating her time, energy, and heart to making this event better each year. Her leadership has been instrumental in transforming the Golf Classic into the premier fundraising event it is today, and her passion for helping others is truly unmatched.
While we are sad to see Joy step down from her role as Chair, we are grateful for the indelible mark she has left on this event. Her contributions have not only helped raise critical funds but have also brought people together for a common cause. Joy’s departure creates a unique opportunity for someone new to step up and continue her legacy. We are actively seeking new members to join our golf committee, and we encourage anyone with a passion for golf and giving back to consider taking on this rewarding role.
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply someone who believes in the power of community support, we’d love for you to get involved. With your help, we can ensure that next year’s Golf Classic is just as successful as this one, if not more so!
A Story That Reminds Us Why We Gather: Trina’s Journey

One of the most touching moments of the day came when Trina, one of our Family Promise graduates, took the stage to share her journey. Her story served as a poignant reminder of why we come together for events like the Golf Classic. After experiencing homelessness and nearly losing hope, Trina and her family connected with Family Promise Cobb, and their lives changed forever.
In April 2024, Trina, her husband, and their two teenagers graduated from our program and have since secured stable housing. Trina’s journey is one of resilience and transformation, and it’s a testament to the impact that Family Promise Cobb has on families in crisis. Hearing her speak moved everyone in attendance and underscored the vital importance of the work we do. It is for families like Trina’s that we continue to push forward, ensuring that they have the resources and support needed to overcome adversity and build a better future.
