ATHENS, Ga. – Landmark Properties (Landmark), a fully-integrated real estate firm specializing in development, construction, investment management, and operation of high-quality residential communities, honored and supported almost 300 Boys & Girls Club of Athens youngsters during a holiday party at the Classic Center in Athens, Ga. earlier this month. The holiday party included festive treats, holiday crafts, presents for every child in attendance, and Santa Clause made a special appearance.
“As a residential housing leader, Landmark recognizes our responsibility to give back in the communities where we live and work,” said James Whitley, COO of Landmark Properties. “Through our national partnership with The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we thought this party was a great way to celebrate our local Club kids and to spread some holiday cheer around the greater Athens area.”
During the party, celebrated guests enjoyed festive treats, made cards for their parents and loved ones, and crafted tree ornaments before ending the night choosing a present donated by Landmark. Elves from Landmark had a hand in making this a successful and memorable experience for children and their families by wrapping gifts and decorating the Classic Center. As a surprise, a special guest from the North Pole (Santa Clause) arrived in time to hear last-minute gift requests and mingle with everyone in attendance.
“The Boys & Girls Club of Athens is grateful for Landmark, James Whitley and the entire staff for making this season that much brighter for the kids here at the Boys & Girls Clubs,” said Robert Finch, president and CEO of The Boys & Girls Club of Athens. “There were so many smiles on these kid’s faces, and I know that their season will be much more enjoyable as a result of the gifts food, fun and festivities that they were part of.”
