All proceeds from the Top Gun Ride for Children benefit The Center and the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation

About the Center for Children and Young Adults
The Center is a nonprofit organization that operates two long-term, residential facilities for abused, abandoned, and neglected children and youth -- Open Gate and Another Chance. Open Gate cares for up to nine boys and girls between the ages of birth to 12 while Another Chance serves up to 24 adolescents ages 13 to 17. The agency also operates a transitional living program, Turning Point which provides residential, educational and vocational training for young adults between the ages of 17 and 21. Each child at The Center is placed there because no one else can or will care for them. In 2007 The Center served more than 200 children, youth and young adults from Metro-Atlanta and 20 surrounding counties. The Center receives a per diem by the state for each child served. Unfortunately, the cost of care per day per child exceeds the per diem by $100. The Center relies on special fundraisers such as the Top Gun Ride for Children to bridge the gap in funding.
