• Families First Celebrates 132 years of Impact
• Honoree Lucy Vance and Honorary Chair Ambassador Andrew Young
• Atlanta Women's Chorus partners once again with Families First

ATLANTA, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After sponsoring Families First at their concerts in Spring and Holiday of 2022,  Atlanta Women's Chorus will again partner with Families First to perform at the Loving Legacy Gala, benefiting Families First. The performance of the Atlanta Women's Chorus will feature music to inspire guests as Families First celebrates the remarkable journeys of clients who have moved themselves and their families from crisis to thriving.

"It's an honor to partner with organizations like Families First regarding our serving families. Atlanta Women's Chorus is celebrating our 10th anniversary," said Melissa Arasi, Artistic Director, Atlanta Women's Chorus. "Last year, our chorus supported Families First by adopting  families for the holidays through the Gift A Family program, and it was a huge success. Partnering makes sense because our mission is to empower people to be resilient."

Families First's new signature gala fundraiser is called Loving the Legacy. The evening will honor Lucy C. Vance and her commitment to Families First. Ambassador Andrew Young will serve as the Honorary Chair for this inaugural event to support the programs and families they serve in the Metro Atlanta area. The event will take place on Thursday, March 30, 2023, at The Atlanta History Center.

They recognize the cycles of poverty are not broken by one program or service alone so they offer a combination of services and support to build resilient families and ensure foster and underserved youth are successful and independent by young adulthood. Through their collaborations with community partners, virtual services, and locations throughout the state of Georgia, Families First has impacted youth and families by providing counseling services, health and wellness education for pregnant teens, early childhood education, life skills for youth in foster care, parenting classes, supportive housing, adoption facilitation and placement, and so much more.

"Loving the Legacy is the Families First premier annual fundraising gala. We will be celebrating our 132-year legacy-from the inception of Families First in 1890 to sharing people's incredible journeys with our gala theme of "Where are they now?" said Paula Moody, Chief Executive Officer, Families First. "As a result of their ongoing support, the Atlanta Women's Chorus was the first community partner that came to mind when we decided to highlight the inspiring tales of resiliency and achievements of families who received services and exceptional care from Families First."

The well-known Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus and the Atlanta Women's Chorus comprise the Southeast's largest community music group. Voices of Note, the non-profit group that governs the choruses, is a force for societal change. Each chorus performs three concerts annually and is known for its great music and commitment to promoting resilience. Voices of Note believes music is the best way to spread the message of resilience. They are changing hearts and minds through music.
