From the blue waters of the Copacabana to the vivid colors of the Selarón Steps, The Center for Family Resources (CFR) is excited to announce its annual Gala, “A Night in Rio” on May 10th, 2025, at the exquisite Cobb Galleria Centre. This event, presented by Genuine Parts Company, is more than just an elegant evening out, it is the night community comes together to “step up” to prevent homelessness for children and families in Cobb County.
The 2025 gala is co-chaired by Croy Engineering’s Chief Operating Officer Eddie Wade and Vice President Sasha Ugi. Their combined expertise and dedication will provide attendees with a colorful Rio experience, while emphasizing The CFR’s essential services and its overarching goal to keep children housed one family at a time.
“We are honored to support and assist an organization that is making a difference in the lives of children and families in Cobb County,” said the co-chairs. “The work that The CFR does in the community is an invaluable asset to us all. From working with clients to find housing to helping food insecure families at The Family Cupboard choice pantry, The CFR is changing the trajectory of lives. We, as the Gala co-chairs, are committed to making “A Night in Rio” a resounding success and to furthering the organization’s mission of creating lasting positive change in the lives of families in our community.”
