Low-income children in Georgia are set to soon have an easier path to collecting Medicaid benefits under legislation that passed out of the General Assembly on Wednesday.
A Cobb County-based online auction Wednesday night raised over $100,000 to help Georgia National Guard families in need.
The event, âRed, White and YOU,â was live streamed from Vinings Bank and hosted by volunteers led by Nancy Couch and Leslie Hammond, with support from the Cobb Chamber of Commerce and local businesses for the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation.
Instead of gift baskets you might find at a typical auction charity fundraiser, this eventâs auction lineup was full of things to do rather than items to take home, a response to the coronavirus pandemic, said Cobb Chamber Chairman John Loud, one of the eventâs organizers.
