LIFESTYLE LETTER

Hello friends,

November 2022 PUBLISHER

Jim Newman | jnewman@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Sue Collins | scollins@citylifestyle.com

Where do you volunteer? How do you share your abundance of talent and resources? We know BuckHaven City Lifestyle readers are generous and let us be the first to thank you this month for all you do.

I am proud to be a member of the founding board for a new nonprofit, Reeling in Recovery. As a fly fisher, I find peace on the river so it's easy (and an honor) to support a group providing recovering addicts with access to the sport that brings joy and healing to so many. We had our first retreat in September and are planning more for the coming year. Find out how you can help at ReelingInRecovery.org and watch these pages for a story in an upcoming issue.

All the people featured in our annual GIVERS issue find a connection to their fellow humans by giving back. Enjoy their stories on page 24. I am so thankful to my staff, including Lance White, who produced our GIVERS story this month. His positivity and can-do spirit shines through all his work for BuckHaven City Lifestyle and together with our sensational photographer, Jolie Loren, makes our magazine better. Shot on location at the gorgeous Waldorf Astoria Buckhead Atlanta, we couldn’t be more pleased with the way the day played out!

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago. American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC) was founded by Danny Thomas in 1957 to be the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Atlanta chapter is a powerhouse. Read their news on page 20.

We hope this month of reflection and celebration brings you and loved ones together for Thanksgiving and perhaps, a day of giving.

All my best,

The Importance of Giving from the Heart

Monica Pearson Photo courtesy of AFN

Giving to others makes our community stronger.

ARTICLE BY SEAN O'KEEFE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOLIE LOREN PHOTOGRAPHY

14

O UR TOWN | ARTS + CU LTURE

Tracye Hutchins and Monica Pearson are two of the most recognizable news personalities in Atlanta, and the newly minted Atlanta News First Network is certainly letting them lead by example. Both of these women’s legacy is entrenched in generosity, helping others, and challenging us all to do better, each and every day.

The old adage, “To whom much is given, much is required”, is a motto that Monica Pearson’s mother Hattie Edmondson instilled in her at a very young age. “Monnie,” said her mother, “you must reach back, pull up and push forward others.” Monica has impacted the lives of countless here in Atlanta over the years and she has become a big believer in “look around you, see where there is a need and offer your expertise.”

For Tracye, her motto is more of a challenge to herself and to others, “I know it’s hard to find time to give back, but once you start, those who you’ve helped are so appreciative. You really start to wonder, why haven’t I always done this?” And while, “there is always a sense of immediate goodness, seeing the smiles of those that you have helped is the big payoff.”

Being in the public eye, both Tracye and Monica have many opportunities to support our community. As a news anchor, Tracye believes that she has, “a responsibility to bring attention to our non-profits who do so much to make life better for so many in Metro Atlanta.” Atlanta News First has many well-established community programs. “We are part of a large project that supplies books to students in communities of need,” says Tracye. “When I get a hug from the kids. When they open their own book bags and see books that they can take home and read, it means everything.”

For Monica, she again remembers her mother’s sage advice: “Our talents - what we’re good at - are gifts that are meant to be given away and not hoarded.” Meals on Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) is one of Monica’s favorite organizations in Atlanta. “My mother loved MOWA because of the people who made the deliveries. They didn’t just deliver food, they delivered companionship.” Hattie wanted her independence. That was a driving force for Monica that, “led to me becoming a board member at MOWA and a financial contributor.”

It seems like we could all learn a little about how to live a dedicated life of service from both of these incredible women. Isn’t it time we all found a way to give back. After all, aren’t we all in this together?

The City Shows Up for

St. Jude

Children's Research Hospital BENEFITING KIDS WITH CHILDHOOD CANCER, AND OTHER LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES

The city of Atlanta united this fall to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures.

Saving children.® Last month, the ninth annual St. Jude Evening of Hope gala was held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and raised more than $700,000. This year, the community honors the 60th-anniversary celebration of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. When the doors opened on February 4, 1962, St. Jude became the first fully integrated children’s hospital in the South to defy racial inequities in healthcare. Thanks to generous donors, St. Jude continues to deliver on its promise that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

Approximately 400 guests attended the event, which included an immersive experience that visualized the history and global strides taken by St. Jude, cocktail hour, dinner, live and silent auctions and remarks by a St. Jude patient family and Kera Wright, CFO of ALSAC (the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude).

In recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® hosted an in-person St. Jude Walk/Run at The Battery. More than 1,500 Atlanta-area supporters joined forces to run or walk a 5K while raising crucial funds to advance research and treatment by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year’s event raised more than $324,000.

“For more than a decade, people across the country have united for the St. Jude Walk/Run to help St. Jude families. Every mile walked brings us one step closer to ending childhood cancer,” says Richard C. Shadyac Jr., president and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Generous supporters of fundraising events like the St. Jude Walk/Run are taking strides toward realizing the goals of the six-year, $12.9 billion St. Jude strategic plan, such as increasing global investments to impact more of the 400,000 kids around the world with cancer each year.”

ABOUT ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL® St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Its purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.® It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Join the St. Jude mission by visiting StJude.org, sharing stories and videos from St. Jude Inspire, liking St. Jude on Facebook, following St. Jude on Twitter and Instagram and subscribing to its YouTube channel.

Restoring Conf idence

Shannon and Burt Wright, owners of hair restoration studio Absolute Image Consulting, understand that living in gratitude is simple after seeing sick children still radiate joy.

As experts helping men and women with non-surgical hair loss replacement, the Wrights have also assisted children experiencing illness-related alopecia. They give everyone the same level of service and care, and understand that restoring natural-looking hair means restoring self-confidence, too.

Last month the Wrights and Williams Cancer Foundation held their first Phoenix Benefit, which raised $17,000 to continue cancer research, help people receive treatment and recover emotionally. We talked to the Wrights about their unique business and how they’ve remained grounded and grateful.

DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO CHOOSE? Franchising with us means making money and time for your life.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GIVE BACK TO KIDS IN NEED? We periodically saw children with hair loss for one reason or another, with parents who might have been dealing with a mountain of expenses from medical bills. It only took one time seeing a single mother's heart sink when she heard how expensive it would be, for us to realize we could do more to help her and her little girl. So, we offered our service for free and helped with the cost of the products. When we finally attached her hair, that little girl's eyes got so big and bright, and her mother, aunt and dad were all crying. We realized what this really meant.

HOW DOES GIVING TO OTHERS MAKE YOU FEEL? We both came from very humble beginnings, and it was a struggle to break through. We both know what it means to want and, more importantly, to need something just out of reach. Providing for someone in that same situation is priceless to us.

HOW CAN READERS GET INVOLVED? We just held our inaugural benefit event and saw how generous and caring people can be. That was a great start to something we hope to continue for many years. We plan to hold the next event in early spring 2024. We hope people stay connected and inspired to help. And when they see the announcement for the next event, we hope they will join us.

HOW IS ABSOLUTE IMAGE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY? Absolute Image Consulting Inc is a unique business. We come to work every day to make someone's life better. We accomplish that all day. We’re an art studio, a therapist center, a life coach studio, an escape, and a place for healing, self-expression, and self-discovery. It’s a dream come true. We aren't just part of our community, we are our community. You can see our work at the grocery store, the ball game, the board meeting, the neighborhood pool and on network television.

We’re everywhere, but you would never know it, and that’s the goal! AbsoluteImageConsulting.com

At the new Atlanta Humane Society home, there are splash yards and walking trails for the dogs, and safely enclosed “catios” for cats. Lighting in the animal areas is set to replicate natural circadian rhythms and offers different light settings to keep stress at a minimum.

The Shelter Medicine area will allow extensive medical treatment and care including isolation rooms for parvovirus

and ringworm, a dental suite, and a surgery room. There is a training room for community events, and a kid’s learn and explore area.

The new shelter will be open 12 p.m. - 4 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday-Saturday.

The Arthur M. Blank Family Animal Center is located at 1551 Perry Boulevard. AtlantaHumane.org
