At The Dixon Firm, justice isn’t limited to what happens in a courtroom. It’s woven into how we show up for our clients, our families, and the communities we serve. This year, our team was honored to continue that commitment by sponsoring the Jeff Francoeur Home Run Derby, an annual event supporting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), one of the most impactful pediatric healthcare systems in the country and a lifeline for families throughout Georgia.
Hosted by former Atlanta Braves standout Jeff Francoeur, the Home Run Derby has become a beloved tradition in Atlanta. Players, local leaders, and supporters gather each year to raise funds that directly fuel CHOA’s mission: providing world-class care to children, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. For us, this event represents exactly what we believe justice looks like in action: removing barriers, creating opportunities, and helping families move forward with dignity and hope.
Why This Sponsorship Matters
For years, our team at The Dixon Firm has stood beside families in some of their hardest moments. The human side of every story is what drives our work, and supporting CHOA fits naturally within that mission.
Every day, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta ensures that young patients receive exceptional care, from emergency medicine and cancer treatment to surgical specialties and mental health support. Many of these children face uphill battles that have nothing to do with fault, negligence, or preventability – they simply need help. That’s why events like the Home Run Derby matter: they directly fund programs and services that allow families to focus on their child’s recovery rather than the cost of care.
A Community Coming Together
The Home Run Derby is more than a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of the strength and compassion that define Atlanta. Standing among families, community leaders, and supporters reminded us how powerful collective giving can be. Every home run hit, every donation made, and every volunteer hour contributed brings Atlanta’s children closer to the care and resources they deserve.
The Dixon Firm team was grateful to be part of that energy, cheering alongside kids, connecting with other local organizations, and showing our ongoing commitment to being active, present partners in the community we call home.
Justice Beyond the Courtroom
Our firm’s community initiative, Justice Beyond the Courtroom, is grounded in the belief that true justice requires more than successful outcomes in legal cases. It demands equity, access, and support for individuals and families long before (and long after) they ever meet a lawyer.
Sponsoring the Home Run Derby is one way we take that belief from principle to practice.
Through financial support, volunteerism, and partnerships with organizations doing transformative work in Atlanta, we aim to create meaningful, lasting impact. Our clients come to us because they need strength in moments of crisis, but our responsibility to the broader community extends far beyond legal advocacy.
A Commitment Rooted in Our Values
As Atlanta personal injury lawyers, our job is to fight for people who have been harmed by negligence and injustice. We want every person who walks through our doors and every family who lives in our city to know that someone is in their corner.
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta embodies that same spirit. Their work ensures that kids receive the care they need, not just to survive but to thrive. The Jeff Francoeur Home Run Derby helps make that mission sustainable, and we are honored to help fuel that effort.
Looking Ahead
Our commitment to community partnerships is ongoing. We will continue showing up where we are needed, from neighborhood programs and nonprofit initiatives to local events like the Home Run Derby, because building a safer, healthier Atlanta requires collaboration at every level.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Jeff Francoeur, the CHOA Foundation, all event organizers, and the families who inspire this work every day. Supporting this event isn’t just a sponsorship for us; it’s a reminder of why we do what we do.
Together, we can continue to build a more just and compassionate Atlanta, one family at a time.
And, by the way, our team won the event!
