BBA Community Alliance

 

The BBA Community Alliance is the charitable and educational arm of the Buckhead Business Association and is funded, in part, by the Buckhead Business Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.  The Alliance leverages partnerships with Buckhead civic organizations, businesses, schools, residents and nonprofit organizations to engage the BBA members in programs that strengthen the local economy, enhance education, improve Buckhead parks and neighborhoods, and promote a rich arts and cultural community. Take a look at a few of our  community outreach projects!

  • Kids in Need – a school supply resource for teachers, based on the needs of the school, created by the Atlanta Community Food Bank.  Teachers can “shop” for free supplies for their classrooms.

  • Atlanta Community Food Bank 5k – members contributed funds and participated in the walk beginning and ending at Turner Field. 
  • Atlanta Children’s Shelter 5k – members participated in the walk beginning and ending in Piedmont Park, and our own Necia Kelleher was an award winner in her age category!  Also, our own BBA president Barry Hundley serves as President of the Atlanta Children’s Shelter. 
  • Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Great Strides Atlanta 2017 5k – members contributed and participated in this walk, and our own Roopa Bhandari was actively involved in the support of this cause.
