Social & Community Involvement
2010 Summer Outing – Stone Mountain Park
The 2010 Summer Outing at Stone Mountain Park turned out to be another rock solid firm event. From a Hula Hoop contest and the water balloon toss, to relay races, trivia and duck rides, the afternoon was filled with a ton of activities and prizes for all. Most notable of the events was the first annual Tax vs Audit tug-of-war. With pure determination and strength, the Tax team pulled it off and finished the drill. A re-match has been requested by the Audit team.
2009 Summer Outing - Six Flags
The 2009 Summer Outing at Six Flags was full of thrills and family fun for everyone. Although it was a hot and humid July afternoon, we missed the thunderstorms and enjoyed barbeque, chicken, beverages, and special appearances from the Looney Tunes characters; Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, and Bugs Bunny himself. Also included in the fun was a face painter, and a magician with the biggest rabbit this side of the Mississippi - he was enormous and quite the card player.
2008 Summer Outing - ZOO Atlanta July 18.
WILD KINGDOM 2008 turned out to be an adventure for everyone! The day started with a reception at the Gorilla Deck for a private feeding and a rare display of Gorilla antics at feeding time. The adventure then moved to the Mzima Springs tent for a dinner buffet, more wild animal encounters, hula hoops for the kids, dancing, music, and great food. It was quite a show!

Moore Colson offers entire staff to help local
Children’s organization Feed My Lambs
Atlanta based Moore Colson committed its entire
staff for a day of Community Involvement with local Children’s
organization, Feed My Lambs.
Feed My Lambs is a pioneer organization founded in 1982 in
Atlanta. Feed My Lambs’ mission is to provide tuition-free,
Christian preschools in impoverished areas to empower at-risk
children spiritually, academically, physically and socially; to
impact families and communities. There are 5 schools in Georgia,
2 in Africa, and 1 in Mexico currently operating. Another school
in Mexico is being built.
Moore Colson Staff divided into teams to visit five different
Feed My Lambs locations in the Atlanta area, including their
headquarters in Marietta, Georgia. Armed with shovels, paint
brushes, garden tools and gloves, Moore Colson staff members
left the office around 8:30a.m. to lend a hand with some much
needed chores. Many completed projects including painting the
main office, yard work and assembling bicycles. But a few teams
were able to spend the day interacting with the children by
reading stories, making crafts, preparing breakfast and lunch as
well as having some fun at the nearby playground. Each year
Moore Colson devotes a day to a community involvement project.
“I think I was the lucky one today, says Robin Kelley, Moore
Colson Director of Marketing. To be a part of these children’s
lives for just one day was personally so very rewarding for me.”
”This was an excellent opportunity to help out a great
organization, while building stronger relationships with others
in the firm,” says Justin Shaver, a new Moore Colson Associate.
“The learning experience, attention and opportunities Feed My
Lambs offers these very special children is tremendous. We are
very proud to be associated with an organization such as Feed My
Lambs,” says Leah Manderano, Moore Colson event organizer.
In addition to community involvement day, Managing Partner Greg
Colson and Senior Partner Bob Kiser participated in the 4th
annual Feed My Lambs “Golfing for Underprivileged Children in
Georgia” Golf Tournament. Proceeds from the golf tournament will
go to benefit Feed My Lambs ministry, to provide tuition free
Christian pre-school for children living in poverty areas. The
event will also bring support to the recently opened schools in
Georgia, and also provide food, clothing and Christian education
to hundreds of children in the metro Atlanta area.
