Play It Forward

The Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority (AFCRA) Play It Forward grant invests up to $25,000 or more in people, programs, and partnerships committed to making recreation, sports, and cultural activities more inclusive, empowering, and impactful across Atlanta and Fulton County.

Whether it’s helping to suit up a youth team, covering costs that keep kids off the sidelines, or supporting spaces where people gather, play, and grow, Play It Forward helps to remove barriers, increase access, and expand opportunity.

We believe that as a community, when we play together, we stay together. We’re looking for changemakers who want to level the playing field, create connections, and build momentum.

Because when we play it forward, everyone wins.

5th Annual Autism Sensory Festival April 4th - Highlights

District 4 Councilman Jaceey Sebastian alongside Autism Branches, INC. appreciates everyone who attended and supported the 5th Annual Autism Sensory Festival at Wilkerson Mill Park this past weekend. This event was made possible by the support of our community whose presence and encouragement truly made a difference and helped create an atmosphere filled with joy, understanding, and connection.

A special thanks to the vendors that were onsite for sharing their products, resources, and delicious food — the smiles you brought to the families in attendance were priceless! To every family on the autism journey, the City of South Fulton wants you to know that you are supported and valued. Thank you once again for making this year’s festival a success. We can’t wait to see you all again next year as we continue to grow, uplift, and celebrate together
