Where Atlanta’s Changemakers Come Together
Christian City’s Community Champion Awards brings together influential leaders, businesses and community supporters from across Metro Atlanta for an evening celebrating those who are making a meaningful difference in our community. The annual event recognizes an outstanding individual, nonprofit and corporation whose leadership, generosity and commitment are creating lasting impact for years to come.
2027 Community Champion Awards
The 2027 Community Champion Awards will take place April 29, 2027, at the Georgia Aquarium, and sponsorship opportunities are now available. In the past year, Christian City served 2,934 children across our Children and Family Programs. Your sponsorship can help us reach even more youth, young adults and families with the support, stability and opportunities they need to thrive. It is also an opportunity to connect your organization with Atlanta’s leaders while making a meaningful investment in our community. Our 2027 Community Champion honorees will be announced soon.
