Ashton Woods and Partners Raise Record-Setting $170,000 for Atlanta Charities

Ashton Woods and our industry trade partners raised a record-setting $170,000 for two local charities at its Annual Trade Partners Charity Golf Tournament, held recently at Bear’s Best Atlanta in Suwanee, Georgia. This was the seventh year that Ashton Woods and our Starlight Homes brand sponsored the event—and our most successful yet—helping to raise funds for the greater Atlanta-based charities HomeAid Atlanta and Camp Twin Lakes.

“2022 is a year for the books,” said Chet Mirabal, program director for the event and vice president of Viking Construction. “Thanks to Ashton Woods and its partners, we were able to raise more money than ever before at this event.”

“We have been in and around Atlanta for 21 years. In that time, we’ve completed over 170 projects and provided over 700 beds. With your help, that has translated to 20,000 lives touched in our mission to build a future without homelessness.”

- Mandy Crater, Executive Director, HomeAid Atlanta

HomeAid Atlanta builds and maintains housing and programmatic facilities for reputable nonprofit organizations and public institutions serving those experiencing homelessness by leveraging its relationships within the building industry to garner in-kind donations of labor and materials.

“Your generosity has sent 640 kids to camp over the last seven years. The timing of this contribution is perfect. With the addition of a third campus in Rutledge, Georgia coming this spring, we will be able to send an additional 3,500 kids to camp each year.”

- Cheryl Belair, Chief Development Officer, Camp Twin Lakes

For nearly 30 years, Camp Twin Lakes has delivered fully adaptive, medically supportive and deeply impactful therapeutic camping experiences to more than 10,000 of Georgia’s children and young adults, helping each camper grow in their confidence and experience the joys of childhood.

“HomeAid Atlanta and Camp Twin Lakes are both organizations that inspire hope, and that is a mission we believe everyone can get behind,” said Todd Nichols, President of Ashton Woods’ Atlanta division. “During this season of giving, we hope others will be inspired to join us in supporting these worthy causes.”
