The Atlanta Gladiators are proud to announce their renewed partnership with Satisfeed Gwinnett for the upcoming 2024-25 season. Building on the success of last year’s collaboration, the two organizations are once again teaming up to fight food insecurity in the community through the “GladsGiving” initiative. Last year, the Gladiators and Satisfeed raised over $4,000 to support Satisfeed’s mission of alleviating hunger and reducing food waste in the Greater Atlanta area.
Jared Youngman, the Gladiators’ Executive Vice President, expressed the organization’s dedication to giving back to the community: “Our partnership with Satisfeed reflects our commitment to making a positive impact beyond the ice. Together, we’re not just scoring goals for our team, but for our community, ensuring that everyone has access to the nourishment they need. We’re proud to call Satisfeed a valued partner and cannot wait to be a part of their upcoming distributions, and for our GladsGiving games this November.”
Founded by Tim Turner, Satisfeed is a non-profit organization that has been combating hunger in the Greater Atlanta area for several years. In Gwinnett County alone, 20% of children experience food insecurity, and 14% of the population lives below the poverty line. To address this issue, Satisfeed distributes nutritious food packages to 400 families each Saturday.
Turner emphasized the importance of the partnership during the holiday season: “Our collaboration with the Atlanta Gladiators during the Thanksgiving season holds a deep significance for us. I recall an encounter during last year’s ‘GladsGiving’ event, where a visiting family expressed their joy and surprise at the community’s dual enthusiasm for hockey and combating hunger. This moment underscored the powerful blend of gratitude and generosity that defines our community. Teaming up with the Gladiators allows us to amplify this spirit, turning every match into an opportunity for our fans to contribute meaningfully to our efforts in Gwinnett County, making each game a celebration of community and support.”
This year, GladsGiving will take place on November 27th, 29th, and 30th. For each ticket sold for those games, $5 will be donated to Satisfeed. Fans are also encouraged to bring non-perishable canned goods to the games, which will earn them a discounted ticket for that night’s matchup. Canned food and the discounted ticket can be redeemed at the Gas South Arena’s Box Office prior to the games.
