The sisters of Alpha Xi Delta at Georgia Tech once again showed what it means to combine purpose with passion, hosting their annual Step It Up 5K to benefit Atlanta Angels. This year’s event, held on Georgia Tech’s beautiful Midtown campus, drew students, alumni, and community members together for a morning filled with energy, encouragement, and philanthropy. Participants ran, walked, and cheered their way through the course, all united by a shared mission—to make a difference in the lives of foster families across Atlanta. Thanks to the incredible generosity of participants, sponsors, and donors, the event raised an outstanding $24,000 for Atlanta Angels. These funds will go directly toward expanding the organization’s Love Box and Dare to Dream programs, providing ongoing relational support for local foster families and youth experiencing foster care. “We’re so grateful to the women of Alpha Xi Delta for their continued partnership and belief in our mission,” says Christie, Executive Director. “Their dedication helps ensure that no child in foster care feels alone or forgotten.” For Alpha Xi Delta, philanthropy is about more than fundraising—it’s about community, compassion, and creating lasting impact. Chapter members spent weeks preparing for the event, from coordinating logistics and sponsorships to rallying campus-wide participation. The result was a celebration of sisterhood and service that left a tangible mark on the community. About Alpha Xi DeltaFounded in 1893, Alpha Xi Delta is a national women’s fraternity dedicated to inspiring women to realize their potential. The Georgia Tech chapter continues this legacy through leadership, sisterhood, and a deep commitment to service.

At Atlanta Angels, we love seeing community members turn creativity into compassion — and that’s exactly what Purpose Driven Real Estate did through their inspiring “Flip It Forward” project. Led by Amy and Jon Pedersen, the team purchased and renovated a Tucker home with one powerful goal: to donate the profits to Atlanta Angels. What made this home special was its history — it once belonged to a family who had fostered more than 40 children. Honoring that legacy, the Pedersens transformed a typical house flip into a mission-driven act of generosity. Over nine months, dozens of contractors, designers, and local businesses contributed time, talent, and materials to help renovate the home. From a brand-new kitchen and primary suite to a fresh roof and structural repairs, the project became a true community effort. When the house sold — just 11 days after listing — Purpose Driven Real Estate donated an incredible $46,122 to Atlanta Angels, nearly doubling their original goal. They presented the check at our annual gala and hosted an open house at the home before it closed! The donation will directly support Atlanta Angels’ Love Box and Dare to Dream programs, providing ongoing relational and financial support to children, youth, and families in the foster care community. Flip It Forward is a beautiful example of what happens when purpose meets action. This project proves that giving back doesn’t have to follow the usual path — sometimes it’s as simple, and as powerful, as turning a house into hope.
