About the Associates Spring Luncheon

The Skyland Trail Associates Spring Luncheon is organized by the Skyland Trail Associates, a volunteer group of Atlanta women leaders within corporate, civic, and philanthropic communities. Guests enjoy a luncheon and keynote presentation on mental health.

Generous Atlanta-based businesses sponsor the luncheon. Each year the Associates select an area of need or opportunity at Skyland Trail and direct proceeds from the event to help us advance or improve our world-class mental health treatment programs for clients and families.

CONTACT: Pam McAdams, pmcadams@skylandtrail.org, 678-686-5905

Sponsorship Opportunities

Support for the Associates Luncheon will provide critical financial resources for families in crisis and help Skyland Trail achieve its important mission.

We are pleased to recognize event sponsors through pre-event publicity, social media outreach, onsite recognition and promotional opportunities on our website and in our publications throughout the year.
