The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charitable corporation established in 1994 for the primary purpose of providing assistance on an emergency relief basis to soldiers and airmen serving in the Georgia National Guard and other qualified military members living in the State of Georgia. The Foundation, although not a military organization, is recognized as an official support organization of the Georgia National Guard.
The Foundation is one of eight “check-off” charities approved by the Legislature for individual tax-deductible donations when filing State of Georgia Income Tax Returns. We have received $ 586,781.00 from the Department of Revenue from 2005-2010 tax returns. In addition, we are a participating charity for the United Way Combined Federal Campaign (CFC agency code # 70602) and the State Charitable Contribution Program (SCCP agency code # 177000). Throughout the State, we have been designated as the beneficiary of grass roots campaigns such as the Top Gun Motorcycle Ride for Children, the Some Gave All 5K in Memory of Major Kevin Jenrette, the Savannah Memorial Day Festival, the Kangaroo Express “Salute Our Troops” Campaign, golf tournaments, car wash programs and more!
As a result of contributions, both large and small, the Foundation has provided over $ 1,541,590.00 in emergency relief assistance to more than 1,790 Georgia National Guard members and their families as of December 2011. Examples of assistance include payments to avoid eviction, foreclosure, utilities disconnection and repossession of vehicles as many emergencies are based on job loss. We have helped victims of house and apartment fires, tornados, floods and other disasters. Emergency travel and funeral expenses, as well as assistance to Guard members injured during deployment and training, temporary pay problems and more are examples of the multiple requests for assistance that we receive each week.
We need your help to do more.
Your donation will help make a difference in the lives of Georgia military members. Learn more.

Some Gave All 5K Appreciation Lunch
|
|
OLIVE GARDEN, Atlanta Ga., Sep. 25, 2012
Shannon Jenrette of the Some Gave All (SGA) 5K race committee met with Maj. Gen. Tom Moore, president of the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation and others to present the Foundation with a $19,000.00 check. Guardsmen, family members, and by standers applauded as the largest check to date was handed over to the Foundation from the SGA 5K.
“This is the 3rd annual appreciation lunch to thank Shannon and the SGA 5K committee for their hard work and donation to the Foundation,” said Moore. “SGA is the largest individual donor contributing to the Foundation’s support given to hundreds of families each year. The help we give Guardsmen and their families really is a life saver, keeping them from falling off a financial cliff.”
The SGA 5K race held its 3rd annual run in Lula, Ga. on May 12, 2012 to honor and remember the sacrifice of Fallen Hero, Maj. Kevin Jenrette. Over 200 runners gathered there to partake in the race.
“I am glad to be here today and I represent so many other hard working committee members who help make the SGA 5K a success,” said Shannon Jenrette. “100% of the proceeds go to the Ga. National Guard Family Support Foundation to support military families in need. It is an honor to give something back to military families, because my military family was there for me and my family supporting us with their presence, prayers, and friendship.”
The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation is a non-profit charitable corporation that provides assistance on an emergency relief basis to Guardsmen in the Georgia National Guard and other qualified military members living in the State of Georgia. As a result of contributions, both large and small, the Foundation has provided over $1,541,590.00 in emergency relief assistance to more than 1,790 Georgia National Guard members and their families as of December 2011. The Foundation is affiliated with and is an official support organization of the Georgia National Guard. For more information concerning the Foundation go to http://www.georgiaguardfamily.org/.
The Some Gave All 5K is dedicated to Maj. Kevin Jenrette who was killed in action on June 4, 2009, in Afghanistan. The date of the race is significant to Maj. Jenrette and his family because he graduated from Ranger school on May 10th, 1996. Every year, the race will continue to be scheduled on the second Saturday in May.
