Superior Plumbing presents North Georgia State Fair - Double Your Donation!

The Superior Plumbing presents North Georgia State Fair has issued a challenge: if we, together, raise $30,000 for the Family Stabilization Fund, they will generously match it dollar for dollar. Doubling the impact to $60,000 for families in need.


Right now, nearly 2,000 Cobb students are without stable housing. The Family Stabilization Fund provides crucial assistance to families experiencing unexpected hardships, helping to ensure that every student in the Cobb County School District has the opportunity to thrive. These funds will be used to provide emergency resources, such as food, housing assistance, and other essential support, directly to families in need.


 

We believe in the strength and generosity of our community. Together, we can meet this challenge and provide essential support to families while investing in the future of our students. Let’s show the Superior Plumbing presents North Georgia State Fair what our community can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose.

Gerald Shelton Perseverance Award

By Kiara Garcia • March 11, 2026
Gerald Shelton Perseverance Scholarship A Memorial Tribute Honoring the Life of Gerald Shelton Gerald Shelton was a man defined by kindness, quiet strength, and a deep belief in the power of education. Throughout his life, he treated others with generosity and respect, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. For ten years, Mr. Shelton faced the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease with remarkable perseverance. Even as the disease progressed, the love and dedication he inspired in his family remained constant. His journey became a powerful example of resilience, patience, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Mr. Shelton believed that education opens doors and creates opportunities. He valued learning not only for the knowledge it provides, but for the confidence and determination it builds in young people as they shape their futures. A Legacy of Perseverance In honor of Gerald Shelton’s life and the perseverance he demonstrated during his battle with Alzheimer’s disease, the Cobb Schools Foundation is proud to establish the Gerald Shelton Perseverance Scholarship . This scholarship reflects the values Mr. Shelton lived by — resilience, determination, and the belief that education can help students overcome obstacles and reach their goals. The Gerald Shelton Perseverance Scholarship will support students who demonstrate the courage to keep moving forward when life becomes difficult. It celebrates young people who show determination, strength of character, and commitment to continue pursuing their education despite challenges. Continuing His Legacy Through this scholarship, Gerald Shelton’s legacy will live on in the lives of students who embody the same perseverance he showed throughout his life. Each recipient will carry forward his spirit of resilience — proving that when challenges arise, perseverance can lead the way to opportunity and hope. We are deeply grateful to Joy Doss, President of the Cobb Schools Foundation, and her family for honoring her daddy's life in a way that will inspire and support students for generations to come.
