September 2026
September Smiles, Stadium Cheers & Magical Memories!
September was packed with big cheers, roaring engines, dazzling ice, and memory-making magic!
We kicked things off by sending three families to Sanford Stadium to cheer on the Dawgs, soak up the excitement of college football, and create unforgettable Happy GameDay memories.
Next up: Braves baseball! Three more families headed to the ballpark to root, root, root for the Bravos and enjoy all the fun of game day.
To finish the month with a bang—and a little sparkle—two families experienced the thunderous excitement of Monster Trucks, while two others enjoyed the wonder and magic of Disney on Ice.
From touchdowns and home runs to monster-sized thrills and icy adventures, September was one for the memory books!
We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s support as we continue our mission to bring joy, fun, and lifelong memories to the kids and families who need them most!
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!
