Swing-For-Hope Golf Challenge
Every August, around 100 players come out to The University of Georgia Golf Course for a fundraising day of golf for a great cause! The longest running golf tournament in Athens, Swing-Fore-Hope is a well-loved tradition for our supporters and sponsors. Our 2018 tournament raised almost $13,000 to support our mission to prevent poverty and homelessness in our great city and surrounding counties.

Adopt-a-Mom
The Ark honors mothers and grandmothers who otherwise may not be celebrated for Mother's Day by compiling a list of worthy ladies for "adoption". Members of the community, for a donation of $25, "adopt" a mom, who receives fresh flowers and a hand-written card for Mother's Day. All proceeds benefit our Single Working Mother's Fund.
