Carlock, Copeland & Stair was proud to sponsor
Southern
Shindig, a charitable
 event for Skyland Trail.
Jason Deere and his wife chaired the event. Skyland Trail is a non-profit mental health treatment organization here in Atlanta that focuses on treating adults with mental health issues. Skyland Trail uses hands on, community based treatment methods and is well known in the mental health community for its effectiveness at treating mental health issues. Proceeds from the Southern Shindig enable Skyland Trail to offer life-changing treatment programs to individuals with financial need, as well as help reduce the stigma associated with mental issues through community support. Skyland Trail awards over one million dollars every year in financial aid to help individuals afford treatment at their world class facility. The Southern Shindig took place on August 18th at Sweetwater Brewery. This event raised just over $50,000. The Southern Shindig is geared toward and organized by young professionals in Atlanta and its goal is to introduce the work of Skyland Trail to a younger demographic of potential volunteers and supporters.
