Atlanta Hawks Head Coach, Lloyd Pierce and his wife Melissa, have taken a personal interest in our mission at Solomon’s Temple Foundation. The organization founded in 2014, is dedicated to the eradication of homelessness among women with children. With our programs, we’ve empowered families to overcome life’s challenges, realize their potential, define their destiny and become vital factors in the revitalization and sustainability of their community.
As guests of Coach Pierce and the Atlanta Hawks, the women and children at Solomon’s Temple Foundation got to enjoy a first class experience at an WNBA game. To start, families were picked up in style on the Atlanta Hawks Team bus and escorted to the State Farm Arena for a night out. Talk about V.I.P. treatment! The team provided hotdogs, drinks and snacks as part of this wonderful experience. However, the highlight of the night was a private tour of the Atlanta Hawks locker room and viewing room, as well as a photo op moment with Coach Pierce.
As part of their mission to integrate into the community, Coach Pierce and his wife Melissa are taking a personal approach to make a significant impact. We’re also excited to share that they will be supporting our upcoming annual fundraiser for Solomon’s Temple Foundation, “The Transforming Lives Gala”, on Friday, October 4, 2019. Funds raised at this gala will provide effective programming in 2020 that will help supply the tools to empower women with children remove barriers to employment, housing, and mental health. With access to these opportunities, it will help to create and sustain the foundations for a healthy family, while annihilating homelessness among the citizens of Metropolitan Atlanta.
