Hope. In and of itself, the word carries a tremendous amount of meaning. Ranging from encouragement to optimism, it's about what can be regarding the greater good and making the communities in which we live, work, and play just a little better than the day before.

This is a key part of the mission and mantra of the Alphas of Atlanta, a 501c3 (nonprofit) comprised of members of the Metro-Atlanta graduate chapters. Since its inception in 2015, the #AlphaDerbyWeekend, which is their Kentucky Derby themed signature event, evolves with its programming and reach. From its inception as a 2-day event (2015-16) to a 3-day event (2017) and beyond, including this year's event (as it marks thei
