Atlantic Capital Community 5K Supports Grove Park during Pandemic
June 23 2020 - 10:00AM
The 2nd Annual Atlantic Capital Community 5K, which went virtual
this year due to COVID-19, was held on June 13-14 and raised
over $26,000 for the Grove Park Foundation. The proceeds will
support the Grove Park neighborhood, a community already vulnerable
to health and economic disparities and now experiencing drastic
loss of income due to the pandemic. Using the Purpose Built
Communities model, the Grove Park Foundation is working with the
neighborhood and partners from the public, private and nonprofit
sectors to achieve an equitable and sustainable transformation that
preserves and builds community. The Foundation is committed to a
long-term effort that will produce a cradle-to-college education
pipeline, develop affordable and mixed income housing, and
community health and wellness programs and facilities.
“The residents of Grove Park have been
disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, due in part to
the economic contraction that has caused a large portion of
our community, who work in the service industry, to lose their
household incomes. The funds raised by the 5K will allow Grove Park
Foundation to continue to provide the urgently needed services to
support our residents through this crisis period,” said Debra
Edelson, Executive Director of the Grove Park Foundation.
Atlantic Capital’s purpose is to fuel prosperity
for our clients, communities, shareholders and employees. “We
have been providing banking services and financial expertise in the
Grove Park neighborhood for over six years. Hosting the Community
5K benefiting Grove Park has provided us with another avenue to
make a meaningful impact in this community. It aligns with our
purpose and is at the core of who we are,” said Ashley Carson,
Atlantic Capital’s Corporate and Community Affairs Executive.
The race typically runs in the historic Grove
Park neighborhood highlighting the new Proctor Creek Trail and the
work happening to revitalize the community, was pushed to a virtual
race. Two hundred and four participants from eight different
states shared their experiences over social media with the hashtag
#GroveParkMoves. “Hosting a virtual race allowed us to expand our
reach outside of the Atlanta community, educating people on the
real work the Grove Park Foundation and Atlantic Capital are doing
to revitalize the neighborhood. We went from being an
Atlanta-centric race to having participants from eight different
states. This would not have been possible if it weren’t for the
virtual format,” said Ashley Carson.
