Giving back to the community is an essential part of BOMA Georgia’s mission.
The Community Service Committee provides association members with opportunities for activity-based networking while serving organizations in need. The committee’s main focus is conducting service projects for Hillside.
Founded in 1888, Hillside is Atlanta's oldest organized charity. A private, not-for profit agency, Hillside provides quality, cost-effective treatment and education to severely emotionally disturbed children, adolescents and their families. Programs include intensive residential psychiatric treatment, therapeutic foster care and community-based family preservation services. Hillside's programs emphasize a supportive structured environment, individualized treatment plans and caring, functional families.
In addition to its work with Hillside, BOMA Georgia conducts one construction-related project each year with another organization, leveraging the unique talents and skills of the membership to serve the community.
Want to learn more about volunteering with this active, enthusiastic committee? If so, call the BOMA Georgia office at (404) 475-9980 or complete the registration form.
Each year, BOMA Georgia organizes a mountain outing for Hillside children. BOMA Georgia members engage with the children in outdoor activities and teambuilding exercises.
Property and facility management companies have an opportunity to organize lobby events for tenants in their buildings and to designate a certain percentage of the revenue to benefit Hillside. The events provide much-needed revenue for Hillside while enabling member buildings to serve the community.

The BOMA Georgia Discount Ticket Program raises money for Hillside by making tickets to local sporting events available at a discounted rate. Anyone using the discount code “BOMA” saves up to 50 percent when buying tickets. In addition to the discount, you also avoid processing fees of up to 12 percent when buying tickets to the Falcons, Hawks, and Braves. Simultaneously, a $5-10 donation is made to Hillside for every ticket purchased.
This program currently covers the Atlanta Braves, Falcons and Hawks. Plans are underway to add Georgia State Football, the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, and the Atlanta Blackhawks and Beat men’s and women’s professional soccer teams.
Anyone using the “BOMA” discount code can take advantage of this program making it a great way to help build relationships with tenants, employees, vendors and colleagues. Plus, since every ticket purchased helps the Hillside children, why stop there? Feel free to make this offer available to all your family, friends and other personal contacts.
If you have any questions or need any assistance with this program, please contact Bob Fuhr of SBS Enterprises at (404) 290-4285.
