Atlanta Spirit LLC is dedicated to being an integral member of the communities where we and our fans live, work and play. Our primary focus with our community development initiatives is to move in rhythm with the heartbeat that is Atlanta. Whether through educational programs, community service projects or financial in-kind donations, the Atlanta Spirit family has committed to helping our community "win" in the game of life.

Our community outreach focus remains as follows:

• Youth -- Gearing our programs to children aged 5-18.
  
  
• Education -- Developing a lifelong love of reading as the key to opening up all educational opportunities.
  
  
• Participation -- Supporting existing social service agencies delivering sports and athletic programs, to increase participation in basketball, hockey (ice, roller and street) and the musical and performing arts.
  
  
• Opportunity -- Giving underprivileged and at-risk children and their families the opportunity to attend Hawks, Thrashers and Philips Arena events.
