Turbo Day Back-to-School Carnival

On July 8, 2024, the inaugural Turbo Day Back-to-School Carnival brought over 600 children to Welcome All Park in the City of South Fulton for a day of celebration, resources, and community.

The free event featured a Ferris wheel, pony rides, trampolines, carnival games, food trucks, free haircuts, and a school supply giveaway — all made possible through partnerships with District 3 Councilwoman Helen Zenobia Willis and The Great Family Foundation.

Thanksgiving Community Giveaway

In November 2023, The Great Family Foundation partnered with local government agencies to host a Thanksgiving holiday giveaway at Welcome All Park that provided turkeys, greens, and complete Thanksgiving meals to over 300 families in the community.

As covered by FOX 5 Atlanta, this was the foundation's first holiday giveaway — a tradition that continues to grow each year, reflecting our belief that no family should go without during the holidays.

Voices From Our Community

In Their Words

"I'm overwhelmed. I'm happy about the turnout — there's about over 600 kids out here. When you get money, cars, and a house, you have to ask yourself how you take care of the people around you."

Chandler "Turbo" Great

Founder, The Great Family Foundation

"It's good for us to bring all the kids from the different areas of the City of South Fulton together. Events like this strengthen our community and show our children they matter."

Councilwoman Keosha Bell

City of South Fulton

"It feels good being able to help provide for the kids. When I was growing up, I didn't have that. Being here today, giving free haircuts, seeing these kids smile — that's what it's all about."
