Cobb & Douglas Public Health | September 4, 2023
The Cobb & Douglas Health Foundation for Safe Kids Cobb County was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from the Capital City Bank Group Foundation (CCBG), which was presented by Capital City Bank Cobb County Market President Ron King and Commercial Lender Betsy Madrerohon.
