Our Beneficiaries...
For the 2020-21 fundraising year, the Circle will once again support Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health as its primary beneficiary. Devereux is one of the largest and most advanced behavioral health organizations in the country. It serves many of the most vulnerable members of our society, including those with mental illness, autism, sexual exploitation, abuse and developmental disabilities. Devereux Georgia was founded in 1973 at the invitation of then Governor/later President Jimmy Carter. In a secure setting campus setting, it operates three main services: Psychiatric Residential Treatment Program, where children live, go to school and receive psychiatric, medical and therapeutic services; Specialty Foster Care Program, focused on training foster care providers; and Cottages Program and Ackerman Academy, on campus group home setting for youth with special needs.
The Circle also funds scholarships for underprivileged youth from various non-profit organizations via the Linda Gross Memorial Scholarship Fund (please see Scholarship Category). Other beneficiaries of the Circle in previous years include The Bridge, Good Samaritan, Chris Kids, Center for Children and Young Adults, Safe Path, Tallulah Falls School, Wellspring Living and My House.
Our Long Range Planning committee works throughout the year to identify organizations that fit our mission for assistance through monetary donations, hands-on programs, and/or specific one time events we can support.
