East Cobb Civitan Club is a volunteer organization dedicated to community service and aid to the mentally & physically challenged. They were chartered in 1986 and have raised thousands of dollars to support Emory Hospital’s efforts to detect metabolic disorders at birth to prevent developmental disabilities.  Additionally, they have raised money for the Civitan International Research Center on the UAB campus in Birmingham.  The Research Center is dedicated to the prevention of developmental disabilities, as well as improving the lives for individuals with developmental disabilities.    Civitans provide $1,000,000 annually to the research center which is then leveraged and matched 20 times over to fund their efforts.

Friends of the East Cobb Park is the volunteer organization responsible for purchasing, developing and donating the land of the East Cobb Park to Cobb County.  They continue to develop the park through the addition of pavilions, playground equipment, walking trails, overlooks and bridges.  They also sponsor a variety of community events in the park.

This auction is the largest fundraiser for these two organizations, typically grossing over $20,000 per event. To date, the East Cobb Civitans have donated over $85,000 to the East Cobb Park through these efforts.  Additional donations have supported the Salvation Army, the Center for Family Resources, Must Ministries, The Center for Children & Young Adults, Camp Big Heart (a 2 week camp for the developmentally disabled), The Buck Craft Scholarship at KSU and the Civitan International Research Center at UAB.
