  • One Tribe, One Vibe: How the SBG Atlanta Community Rallied Around Mike and Danny Greene

    At SBG Atlanta, our discussions frequently revolve around the importance of community connections and the sense of empowerment gained from being involved in something other than individual pursuits. Mike and Danny Greene experienced a deep impact from this when they faced an unforeseen obstacle in life.

    When Danny became seriously sick, it felt like everything was falling apart. The stress from mounting expenses and the emotional burden of witnessing a loved one in pain seemed almost unbearable. During their most challenging time, the SBG Atlanta community came together in a way that truly made a lasting impression.

    Our tribe went beyond speaking encouraging words—they sprang into action! In a display of togetherness and supportiveness, everyone came together and managed to raise more than $30K through a crowdfunding effort on GoFundMe to assist with the medical costs involved. The Greenes did not face their challenges in solitude; the tribe stood by them through every hurdle they faced.

    Mike and Danny deeply appreciate the love and support they have received from everyone around them.They firmly believe that this experience has strengthened their faith in the tribe’s strength, and they remain participants who strive to contribute to the community that has been so generous, to them.
