A Night to Shine a Light on Our Educators
Join us for a heartfelt evening as we honor the heroes of early education at our first Early Childhood Appreciation Gala, a special event dedicated to celebrating the dedication, passion, and commitment of our early childhood educators.
Often the first to nurture, teach, and guide our children outside of the home, early childhood educators are truly frontline workers in the field of education. They lay the critical foundation for lifelong learning, emotional development, and social growth. With patience, love, and professional excellence, they help shape the minds and hearts of our youngest learners, often with little recognition.
This gala is our opportunity to give back. To say thank you. To shine a spotlight on the countless hours, the tireless effort, and the deep care they pour into every child they teach.
We will honor their work through awards, tributes, and celebration, recognizing not just their professional impact, but the lasting impressions they leave on families and communities.
Let’s come together to uplift and support those who have given so much to our children’s earliest and most important years. It’s not just an event, it’s a movement of gratitude and recognition. If interested, please refer to the application flyer.

On April 5, 2025, The Heart Matters Wellness Services hosted the West Ga Mental Health Professional Wellness event, introducing Naturescape at Sweetwater State Park. This gathering created a unique space for mental health professionals to step away from the clinical setting and immerse themselves in nature, allowing them to cultivate the idea of nature as a co-therapist and embrace self-care as a central practice.
Special thanks to our incredible team at DanObe Foundation Inc. for your support and dedication to service! Your commitment and contributions are deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for each and every one of you!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Cheryl Francis from The Heart Matters Wellness Services for the invitation. We truly value your collaboration. This event was sponsored by DanObe Foundation Inc. and are deeply grateful for the partnership.
The event offered participants the opportunity to “Pour Back Into Themselves,” encouraging them to relax, reset, and recharge. Attendees engaged in guided meditation, breathwork, mindful stretching, movement, nature walks, and therapeutic processing. These refreshing activities provided powerful tools for relaxation and renewal.
