Compassion in Action

Bringing Hope to West GA Students

Every Child Deserves a Chance to Succeed

In West GA, many students face the challenges of poverty and homelessness, struggling with basic needs that impact their ability to learn and thrive. Compassion in Action, an initiative of The Sewell Mill Foundation, is committed to raising awareness and providing resources to support these students.

Food

Hunger shouldn’t be a barrier to learning. We provide meals and snacks to ensure students have the nutrition they need to focus and succeed.

Clothing

Confidence starts with comfort. We supply clothing and essentials so students can feel secure and ready to take on each school day.

Care

Beyond physical needs, we offer mentorship, encouragement, and resources to support students' emotional and mental well-being.
We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Gallop for good

Helping Kids Reach the Finish Line

May 3, 2025 | 5–8 p.m. | The Sewell Mill Event Center

Dress Code: Derby Day Cocktail

Compassion meets celebration at Gallop For Good, our Derby Day-themed fundraiser supporting students in Haralson County, Bremen City, Carrollton City, and Carroll County Schools.

This evening is all about community, connection, and impact. Every net dollar raised will go directly toward helping local kids meet their most essential needs—things like properly fitting shoes, season-appropriate clothing, backpacks, food, and more. We’re partnering with organizations like PASS and equipping school social workers and counselors with the funds and flexibility to make sure no child is left behind.

What to Expect:

  • Derby-inspired food & drinks
  • Live race viewing
  • Casino-themed games (blackjack, craps, poker and roulette) where you can earn tickets to win specially curated gift baskets
  • A silent auction featuring a custom piece created exclusively for this event by renowned artist Steve Penley

It’s a chance to come together for a night of fun and philanthropy—because when kids have what they need, they can focus on learning, growing, and reaching their full potential.

Join us in making a difference—one child, one need, one finish line at a time
