A special thank you to our favorite ball team!

A very special thank you to Conner and his Alpharetta baseball team for their generous gift to the foundation, in honor of their fantastic and dedicated coach Joe Moon owner of Moon & Associates. Mr. Moon works tireless hours coaching this talented team, and always finds time to lend his hands and expertise to BJF as well. Conner's team recently won the acclaimed All-Star series in their respective league. Joe Moon is also husband to one of our most dedicated and caring volunteers Kelley Moon of Enterprise rent-a-car; who also serves as Vice Chair of the Brian Jordan Foundation Board of Trustees. The gift from these young budding philanthopists was credited toward the purchase of a new foundation camera used to document the community events BJF has invested in.

A big warm thank you goes out to our very own All-Stars!
