June 2026
Another month of Happy GameDay magic is officially in the books!
June was packed with smiles, cheers, laughter, and unforgettable memories for six amazing groups of kids and families. From the stage to the stadium, it was a month full of moments we will never forget!
We kicked things off with a little puppet-powered fun, sending three wonderful families to the Center for Puppetry Arts to enjoy T. Rex Stole My Toothbrush. The show brought big laughs, wide eyes, and plenty of imagination!
Then it was time to head out to the ballpark! We were so excited to provide two families with tickets and parking to experience a Braves game, where they cheered on the Bravos and soaked up all the fun of game day.
Our final event of the month was especially meaningful. Brendan was a huge FIFA fan and had dreamed of attending a World Cup match when the games came to Atlanta. We know he is cheering from Heaven, and we were honored to celebrate his love for the game by sending a group from Murphy-Harpst Children’s Home to see a live match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. They had an incredible time and made memories that will last forever.
None of this would be possible without your support. Because of you, we are able to keep breaking down barriers and creating joyful Happy GameDay experiences for kids and families who need them most. We are so grateful you are part of this mission!
LIFETIME MEMORIES WERE MADE!
The Power of Partnership
None of these events would have been possible without our invaluable supporters and partners. All of our partners share our commitment to ensuring that every child feels valued and included. These organizations work tirelessly to support kids facing difficult circumstances, and together, we aim to nurture hope and belonging wherever possible.
Through teamwork and shared vision, we’re able to identify kids and families who would benefit most from opportunities Happy GameDay is able to provide. The joy expressed by the children and their parents and caregivers is a testament to the impact we can have when we join forces in service of others.
Ticket Donations: Simple Gifts, Lasting Impact
Time and again, we are reminded that small acts of kindness can have outsized effects. When supporters donate tickets they can’t use, they aren’t just giving away seats—they’re gifting experiences, possibilities, and memories.
We encourage everyone to think of us when you find yourself with tickets to events you can’t attend. Whether it’s a concert, a sporting event, or a theatrical performance, your donation can open a new chapter in someone’s life. We are committed to honoring your generosity by placing tickets in the hands of those who will cherish—and remember—the experience forever.
How the Process Works
Donating tickets is simple. Reach out to us, and we’ll help match your tickets with a family or group of children who are eager for the chance. We handle all logistics, ensuring a seamless experience for both the donor and the recipient. Our goal is to maximize the joy your donation can bring, creating ripple effects throughout our community. Email us at happygamedaybt@gmail.com to donate!
