On Monday, August 25, 2025 , Blue Thanksgiving hosted our annual Let Them Eat Turkey Golf Tournament at the beautiful Brookstone Golf & Country Club in Acworth, GA — and what a day it was! From the moment golfers checked in, the excitement and camaraderie were evident. The course was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and the shared commitment to a meaningful cause. Teams enjoyed 18 holes of golf, on-course contests, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow supporters, business leaders, and law enforcement friends. While the tournament was full of fun, its purpose was even more important. Funds raised through this event will allow Blue Thanksgiving to continue our tradition of delivering warm Thanksgiving meals to on-duty law enforcement officers across Cobb County and beyond. These officers spend the holiday away from their families to keep our communities safe, and thanks to the generosity of our golfers and sponsors, we will once again be able to show them how much they are appreciated. We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made the tournament such a success. From title and gold sponsors to hole sponsors and raffle donors, each contribution played a part in ensuring the event was both enjoyable and impactful.
