Community Story

"The Athens Area Community Foundation really highlights the positives and helps people do something - they put the wheels in motion and enact change because of the level of engagement and awareness they have around these issues. It’s the beauty of getting people who are philanthropic together so they can share their thoughts and ideas and pool their money for a greater impact. There’s a lot of power in the network the Community Foundation has created.”

For Tee Noland, it’s all about the kids. Whether it’s involving his own children in philanthropy or investing in local kids through the Boys and Girls Clubs of Athens, Tee’s all in.
