Easterseals East Georgia Unveils 2024 Ornament of Hope This Week

Easterseals East Georgia will launch its 2024 Ornament of Hope this Friday at their offices in Augusta.

Every year, Easterseals East Georgia chooses a historic Augusta site to feature on their annual ornaments.

Last year's ornament, rather 2 ornaments, featured both the First Presbyterian Church and Springfield Baptist Church.

Some others in the past have featured the Augusta Country Club, St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church, The Imperial Theater, The Partridge Inn and Westminster Schools of Augusta.

"This year, we are proud to launch our 2024 Ornament of Hope, a tribute to the resilience and beauty of Augusta. This ornament symbolizes the strength of our community, especially as we continue to recover from the effects of Hurricane Helene," said Sheri Coleman, CEO, Easterseals East Georgia.

The public is invited to attend the Easterseals East Georgia Ornament of Hope Launch this Friday, October 18, at 10 am. It will be held at their offices at 1930 Highland Avenue, Suite B.

"For so many, this has been a time of rebuilding and coming together, and we hope this ornament serves as a reminder of the hope and unity that defines us," said Coleman.

More information will be available Friday about the cost of the ornament and how it can be purchased.
