ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks’ Center Dewayne Dedmon will lead a Thanksgiving
giveaway at the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA on Sunday, November 18, 2018
from 2 p.m. -5 p.m. The event will feature 150 preselected families who will
take part in a turkey and coat giveaway, and enjoy family entertainment. Mr.
Dedmon will be providing families with gift cards to purchase Thanksgiving sides
and distributing his favorite sports drink WTRMLN WTR.
“We are very excited to partner with Dewayne to bring this event to our
deserving community,” said Executive Director, Gavin McGuire of the Young YMCA.
“Every child deserves an enjoyable Thanksgiving. At the YMCA, we strive to
ensure that every child feels included– whether it’s in the classroom, in
sports, or in their community. We are thankful to have partners such as Dewayne
to provide these invaluable experiences for our community.”
The Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA (formerly Southwest YMCA) has provided
programs and services to youth and families in the cities of Atlanta, East
Point, College Park, Hapeville and Fairburn since 1959. The Young Family Y’s
goal is to be an effective community change agent, especially for socially and
economically challenged youth. Our driving mission is to assist the youth and
families that we serve to reach their highest potential in body, mind, and
spirit.
The giveaway will be sponsored by YMCA partner WellCare Health Plans, and The
Bobbi Kristina Serenity House.
