2023 Graham Windham’s “Reach for the Stars” Gala

Our 2023 Gala Benefit Honoree Georgia Wall is Senior Vice Chair and Chair Emeritus of Graham. Georgia has inspired all of us at Graham to “Reach for the Stars.” Over the course of three decades, her leadership fueled innovation far and wide, spanning early and unfaltering support of Graham SLAM, Family Success, and the Fair Futures coalition to scale our signature coaching models across this great city and to other cities. As just one shining example of transformative impact, our youth in the Graham SLAM coaching program graduate from high school at a 77% rate compared to 24% of other foster care youth who do not have the benefit of a coach. Further, the dream of a college tuition program for all foster care youth is finally coming true, and that is thanks to Graham’s steadfast advocacy efforts, across the decades, with our partners at ACS and the City. These breakthroughs happened under Georgia’s leadership and in concert with the passionate efforts of our fellow Board members, staff, and volunteers.
