Fall Fundraiser

In October, Kathryn and The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team held a fundraising event in Marietta, GA. to benefit their non-profit organization, JO Gives.  This was their 1st Annual Fall Festival & Pumpkin Patch Fundraiser.  

JO Gives is considerably involved with World Vision and raised over $8,400 in 2016 for clean drinking water. The organization, along with partners in the community such as the East Lake Chick-fil-A, sold carving and exotic pumpkins, baked goods, sno-cones, and sandwiches with all of the proceeds being donated back to the cause.

This year, JO’s goal is to raise enough money to put two water wells in African communities. World Vision has reported that women and children in sub-Saharan Africa spend an average of 20 million hours a day collecting water. “One well can provide 2,800 gallons of safe, life-sustaining water every day for over 300 people. Giving the gift of these wells can save lives for years to come”.

The fundraiser event was a huge success and many families joined in the fun of picking out a pumpkin and getting their faces painted. Kathryn booked with Atlanta Photo Entertainment and share that guests loved “taking goofy pictures in the photo bus, while contributing to a great cause.”
