Chapter 70th Anniversary Gala Postponed Until March 8
As you’re aware, Hurricane Helene has caused significant devastation across our state. Areas including Valdosta, Sandersville, Vidalia, and Augusta experienced severe impacts. Our members in these communities will need several weeks to recover. Given these circumstances, the Chapter Executive Committee has made the decision to delay our upcoming 70th Anniversary Gala until March 8, 2025. While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, we believe it is crucial that our efforts concentrate on supporting our members through their recovery.
The rescheduled Gala will occur Saturday evening, at the same venue—the Renaissance Waverly Hotel, Atlanta—as previously intended.
We have initiated Hurricane Helene relief via the Foundation so that donations can be directed towards a fund designed to assist pediatricians affected by the storm during their recovery process.
All tickets purchased for the Gala will be honored on the rescheduled date, unless a refund is requested. Please email Joanna Caceres-Aponte at jcaceres-aponte@gaaap.org if you have any questions.

Dear Friend of the Georgia AAP:
This year marks the 70th Anniversary of the Georgia Chapter and we’re planning a Gala to celebrate this special occasion while benefitting the Pediatric Foundation of Georgia. The Foundation promotes the health, safety, and well-being of Georgia’s children by making grants to organizations whose work supports these goals and enhances the physical and mental health of children.
The Gala will also mark the end of the Foundation Endowment Campaign with a goal of $500,000 so it can support worthy organizations for years to come. The event will include a reception, dinner, entertainment, a wine wall and a silent auction. We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Nicola Chin, MD Angela Highbaugh-Battle, MD Hugo Scornik, MD
