The Smyrna Public Safety Foundation took 90 students from eight Smyrna-area schools holiday shopping during the annual \u201cShop With a Hero.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each participating student received $250 from the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation before arriving at the ballpark. Police officers and firefighters accompanied the children to purchase essentials and toys for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the shopping trip, students, chaperones, and first responders went to Truist Park and gathered in the Delta Club, where the team hosted a midday program featuring holiday d\u00e9cor, a catered lunch, and activity stations. The lineup included photos with Santa, arts-and-crafts tables and cookie decorating. Braves mascot BLOOPER visited the event, and students received team gifts, including hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The celebration was part of the Atlanta Braves Foundation\u2019s Season of Giving, presented by Truist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students also took home holiday meal kits assembled in advance by volunteers from the club\u2019s front office and the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation. Each kit contained nonperishable food items and a $25 Kroger gift card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event meets immediate community needs while building positive connections between families and first responders in Smyrna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
