BB&T believes in giving back to local communities through their Lighthouse Project. For the third year, BB&T has allowed each of its 1,850 branches to choose a charity in their local market. The Alpharetta BB&T Main branch chose DreamWeavers of Georgia this year. The BB&T employees went on a shopping spree & bought supplies and clothing to help when children first come into care. The remaining funds will be donated to DreamWeavers to sponsor a few foster children in summer camps. BB&T hopes their efforts encourage others in the community to volunteer their time and support organizations such as DreamWeavers.

Alpharetta/Johns Creek Kiwanis held a Wine Tasting & Silent Auction for the benefit of DreamWeavers of Georgia on March 24th at Hinton’s Wine Store in Alpharetta. The Kiwanis mission is the belief that the most effective way to enhance a community is to enhance its children. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things will happen. Thank you Alpharetta/Johns Creek Kiwanis!
