💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to Manning Properties 💙 Some partnerships are more than just sponsorships—they come from the heart. We are incredibly grateful to Manning Properties for supporting Sparkle & Style and believing in our mission at Special Needs Cobb. Their generosity helps us provide safe, loving homes for adults with special needs, ensuring they have the support and stability they deserve. Angela Lishman Manning of Manning Properties shared why this cause is so deeply personal to her: "I have a cousin who was born just a few months before me. We grew up together and always had the best time, but he has profound intellectual and developmental disabilities, so he needs lots of help in life. Special Needs Cobb helps people like my cousin. Eventually, my aunt will pass away, and Andrew won't be able to live alone. The type of support that Special Needs Cobb provides can help individuals develop life skills, access resources, and make choices that allow them to live more independently. Additionally, when individuals with special needs are included and supported, they can contribute their unique talents and perspectives, enriching our communities." Angela’s words remind us why we do this work. It’s about love. It’s about dignity. It’s about ensuring that no one is left without the care they need. Thank you, Manning Properties, for helping us create brighter futures for individuals with special needs. ✨ Join us at Sparkle & Style—a celebration of fashion, generosity, and community.

Today we're shining a light on Cay Communications! Every dazzling event needs a guiding light, and for Sparkle & Style, that light is CayCommunications LLC, and its incredible President & CEO, Carolyn Polakowski. As the chair of Sparkle & Style, Carolyn has been the driving force behind this event, making it possible through her leadership, dedication, and deep love for our mission. Cay Communications doesn’t just support nonprofits—they empower them. With a tagline that says it all, "Lighting the Way for Great Organizations to Make a Greater Impact," our partnership with Cay Communications has secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funding for Special Needs Cobb over the past six years. Their expertise in grant writing, fundraising, and nonprofit storytelling has been invaluable to organizations of all sizes, from national nonprofits to newly launched 501(c)(3)s. Carolyn and her team understand that big dreams often come with small budgets, and their work ensures that nonprofits like ours can continue making a difference. We are beyond grateful for their unwavering support, and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating their impact at Sparkle & Style! Thank you, Cay Communications, for lighting the way!

Friday we had the honor and pleasure of being a stop on the Cobb Community Foundation Nonprofits Making a Difference Mableton Bus Tour! During the visit, foundation members toured one of our group homes and learned how safe, well-maintained housing plays a vital role in supporting adults with special needs. Visitors also heard from House Manager, Jessica, who shared how staff take a person-centered approach, ensuring residents have the freedom to make choices that shape their daily lives—from what’s for breakfast to planning outings for the week. A heartfelt thank you to Cobb Community Foundation and all attendees for taking the time to learn about our mission. Your support helps us continue creating safe, welcoming homes where our dazzling residents can thrive! #HereForYouForLife #CobbFoundation #SpecialNeedsCobb
