We began this year with one goal in mind: be the change.
What seemed like a simple goal at first and a great bounce back story from COVID soon became more complicated as uncertainty surrounding the pandemic remained and we still couldn’t have in person interactions with our kids. There were times when we didn’t know what being the change would look like or if it was even possible, but we put our all into everything this year and made it happen.
Through it all, we fundraised $240,000 and enjoyed some spectacular moments. From breaking records at recruitment and fundraising days, to adding an outreach & inclusion committee, and increasing our social media presence, we remained WOW through it all. HEROs is home for so many UGA students and the return to in-person activities this year reminded us of that.
Thank you to everyone who followed us along our journey this year; it was a blast and your support means the world. If this year taught us one thing, it’s to never doubt your impact. Just because you can’t see the results of your work, doesn’t mean that it isn’t important and isn’t changing lives❤️.

This past Sunday was our 2021 Olympics!
This year’s Olympics were Disney Channel games style, and each color team was made up of several HEROs teams and committees. Unfortunately, our kids could not come because of COVID-19. But we still found ways to celebrate them by having each color team represent them in our games! Our kids also received care packages in the mail corresponding to their team.
Congratulations to Team Blue for winning the gold!🥇🥇
And we’re so happy we had such a great day with all of our members.✨
