[4] In 1995, Tom Cousins, real estate developer and philanthropist, established the East Lake Foundation and partnered with Atlanta Housing Authority President and CEO Renée Glover, East Lake Meadows resident leader Eva Davis, and local business and community leaders to undertake the monumental task of revitalizing the East Lake neighborhood and changing the conditions and the destinies of the people living there.

Ms. Glover and Integral Properties CEO Egbert Perry developed a holistic approach for revitalizing communities in Atlanta that was utilized by Mr. Cousins, Ms. Davis, Ms. Glover and other key partners in the East Lake neighborhood that included mixed-income housing, cradle-to-college education and community wellness.

The East Lake Foundation serves as the community quarterback organization in the effort to foster and sustain the successful implementation of the approach.

[5] The East Lake Foundation's mission is to provide the tools for families in The Villages of East Lake and students in the Charles R. Drew Charter School education pipeline to build a better life for themselves and future generations through cradle-to-college education, mixed-income housing, and community wellness programs.

Today, several high-profile golf events at the Club provide financial support to the East Lake Foundation, including the PGA TOUR Championship.
