Goodwill of North Georgia, one of the largest retail operations and workforce training agencies in Georgia with a mission to put people to work, celebrates the success of its partnership with the College Park Skyhawks as it enters its second year. This collaboration continues to focus on advancing community-focused initiatives by increasing donations to support local workforce development and training programs.

The College Park Skyhawks, the official NBA G League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks, play at Gateway Center Arena @ College Park, a state-of-the-art 3,500-seat venue located in Metro Atlanta’s Southside. This year, the partnership will expand its impact with three Goodwill Mobile Donation Days in 2025, giving sports fans and community members more opportunities to support Goodwill's mission.

Generous donors can bring gently used items such as T-shirts, socks, jeans, hoodies, sweaters, sweat pants, and coats on designated game days. As a thank-you, donors will receive a voucher for a pair of tickets to an upcoming Skyhawks game (Note: Furniture items cannot be accepted). 

The 2025 Goodwill Mobile Donation Days at College Park Skyhawks games are:

• Monday, February 10, 7:00 PM

• Wednesday, February 28, 7:00 PM
• Wednesday, March 19, 7:00 PM

• On this specific game day, a pop-up Goodwill of North Georgia store will be on-site inside the stadium for fans to visit, shop, and support

This partnership leverages the Skyhawks’ dedicated fanbase and Goodwill’s community of supporters to expand local job and career training resources. Building on the success of their first year, both organizations are thrilled to continue their transformative work in the College Park community.

“Our partnership with the College Park Skyhawks has been a resounding success and an essential component of our mission to empower communities through sustainable workforce development resources,” said Keith Parker, CEO of Goodwill of North Georgia. “By combining Goodwill's commitment to job training and career opportunities with the Skyhawks' dynamic presence and fanbase, we're strengthening our ability to create positive, lasting change in the communities we serve.”

“We are proud to celebrate the success of our partnership with Goodwill of North Georgia as we embark on its second year,” said Atlanta Hawks Senior Vice President of NBA G League and 2K League Operations Janice Koon. “The Skyhawks remain committed to providing a platform for Goodwill's Mobile Donation Center, giving our fans and community members a meaningful way to make impactful donations and make a difference on the Southside.”
