The club is very active in the local community with the Great Chili Challenge, the Leave No One Behind Golf tournament, and many other events.
Now celebrating its 11th anniversary, the club is a IRC 501(c)4 civic organization and a Georgia nonprofit corporation. The Georgia District Civitan Foundation, Inc. is a IRC501(c)3 charitable organization and a Georgia nonprofit corporation.
Civitan’s motto is “Builders of Good Citizenship.” This is accomplished through a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs, keeping focused on improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities. The three basic principles of Civitan (Service, Knowledge and Fellowship) are essential to fulfilling the Civitan mission and the role of a Civitan club in a community.
Civitan clubs are also involved in a variety of community service and fundraising projects such as the chili challenge, the golf tournament, selling pecans and vidalia onions. However, the most widely recognized fundraiser program is the Civitan Candy Box Project. The Candy Box Project is serviced by volunteers, and 100 percent of the net proceeds go to benefit people with MR/DD.
