Together with the North Georgia Community Foundation, the PWB Joy of Hope Foundation seeks to inspire hope and promote joy throughout Forsyth County and North Georgia communities. Parker Wade Burch could light up any room. His heart was pure gold, and our wish is to keep our son's light shining bright within our community through spreading joy and hope.
Together, we will make an impact in our local community. Our foundation works with many charities local to North Georgia and Forsyth County, supporting men, women, children, families, and veterans. Your friends and neighbors. Our goal is to inspire joy, hope, and support throughout our community. With your help, we can provide many types of support:
Your donation may support families and individuals throughout the community in need of food, household items, or other necessities.
Through our foundation, we aim to provide temporary financial support to community members who need a helping hand or a second chance.
If you are unable to donate financially, we welcome the gift of your time. By volunteering with our partner organizations, you improve our community as a whole.
Honoring the memory of our son by supporting this community is a blessing, and we will take every opportunity to help those in need.
PWB Joy of Hope Foundation believes strongly that every donation is important, every dollar and every minute matters, and that your contributions are everything. Our short and long term goals transparently show how we plan to support our community. This is what gives us joy and hope.

7. Hold our 3rd annual PWB Joy of Hope Golf Tournament to raise money for Make a Wish and grant a wish for a young boy or girl living in Georgia. Last fall we raised $15,400!
