Primerica Celebrates Westside Park Renovation Project Completion

The Primerica Foundation was honored to take part in a special event Thursday celebrating the completion of the John F. Kennedy Park renovation project in Atlanta’s Historic Westside!

Primerica – along with the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the NFL Foundation, and the Chick-fil-A Foundation – provided funding to help renovate and revitalize a wonderful community space just a short distance away from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium where the big game will be played on Sunday. 

John F. Kennedy Park is adjacent to the Hollis Innovation Academy, and it is central to the Westside neighborhoods. Students from the Academy and the community will be able to enjoy the athletic field and have a safe place for exercise and outdoor activities.

“In keeping with Primerica’s practice of giving back to the communities where we live and work, we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to contribute to an improvement project designed to foster play and healthy lifestyles for years to come,” said Primerica President Peter Schneider. “Our commitment to changing lives underscores everything we do – from the financial education and products we provide our clients to the many thousands of people we help each year through The Primerica Foundation.”

During the event, speakers included Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who reminisced about taking ballet lessons as a child in the neighborhood; Arthur Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons, who noted that the park was one of many efforts being made by Atlanta leaders to enhance the Westside; and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who spoke about making meaningful improvements in the Atlanta community that will last for years to come.
