In its second year, this event raised over $50,000. The presenting law firms led the 70-plus sponsors who helped Side by Side double the money raised by the inaugural benefit. Community groups, such as the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs of Stone Mountain and Lilburn, have supported with sponsorships and cheers from the stands since the event began.

Proceeds from the basketball game and silent auction will raise money for scholarships to benefit brain injured adults as they learn to thrive in their “new normal.”
