Professional Advisor Rooftop Sunset Social

On August 20, 2026, Cobb Community Foundation welcomed more than 60 attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and other professional advisors to our annual Professional Advisor Rooftop Sunset Social at Comcast’s rooftop at The Battery.

The evening brought advisors together for networking, conversation, and rapid-fire insights on charitable planning strategies designed to help you better serve your clients.

The Rooftop Sunset Social is part of Cobb Community Foundation’s Professional Advisor Network (PAN)—a community of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, wealth managers, trust officers, and other professionals who help clients make thoughtful charitable giving decisions.

We’re here to be a resource and collaborative partner, providing charitable planning insights, tools, and opportunities to connect with fellow advisors throughout the year.

At Cobb Community Foundation (CCF), we believe that charitable giving done well can create a lasting impact, so we created our Professional Advisors Network (PAN) to bring together professionals who help their clients with their charitable giving to share ideas, expertise and experiences. Why? Because giving done well will be done even better, and for the community, the client, the client’s family, even for the advisor, its impact is even greater. Join us, and ACTIVATE GOOD!
