A LETTER FROM LISA
Dear Kate’s Club Community,
The year 2023 proved to be one of our most exciting as Kate’s Club celebrated its 20th anniversary, experienced incredible growth, and laid the foundation for the next 20 years. We are grateful for the unwavering support of our community and the relentless dedication of our team as we continue to build a world in which it’s okay to grieve. During our 20th year, Kate’s Club was recognized nationally for our work with grieving children, families and young adults and received the U.S. Surgeon General’s medallion, his highest civilian award. This elevated grief support to a larger, nationwide audience, and introduced many to the Kate’s Club way. Our Kate’s Club team managed unprecedented growth in Kate’s Club programming and impact; we: Served children, families, young adults and professionals in 50 counties throughout Georgia, nearly doubling our geographic reach Saw a 35% increase in the number of grieving children participating in our Clubhouse and KC Connects programs
Experienced a 20% increase in parent and caregiver engagement Completed pilot phases of our LoKate young adult program and Kate’s Hub online platform, with more than 400 members across both programs And held our first grief support groups in juvenile courts, reaching bereaved teens who are often under-resourced and overlooked We worked to build for our future too. Wrapping up the $2.8 million It’s Okay to Grieve campaign, we invested in our team’s capacity and capabilities, and expanded our community partnerships both in metro Atlanta and throughout Georgia. We are proud of all that we accomplished and recognize - and celebrate - the community support that helped us achieve these milestones. Without volunteers, donors, partners, and our community at large, Kate’s Club could not be the organization we are today. Thank you to everyone who has attended an event, participated in a program, donated to our mission, or told a friend about the work we do. Every Kate’s Club supporter plays a vital role in our story and the advancement of our vision: a world in which it’s okay to grieve.
Here’s to everyone in our community, and to the next 20 years of Kate’s Club!
