The 2025 8th Annual ThanksLiving has come to a close — and what an event it was.

We say it every year, and every year we mean it: this was our biggest and most impactful ThanksLiving yet. From honoring the turkey flock with a beautifully prepared feast, having an epic pumpkin party with the pigs, to welcoming supporters from across Georgia and beyond, the 2025 celebration truly embodied what ThanksLiving is all about — shifting the narrative from tradition to transformation. Compassion, community, value, and care are at the heart of this event.

​

It was a celebration with purpose , and because of you, more than 100 residents will feel its impact long after the tables are cleared. ThanksLiving is hosted at zero cost to the sanctuary, meaning 100% of ticket sales, donations, and silent auction bids directly support the residents and the FCFS mission. As our largest onsite fundraiser of the year, your participation didn’t just make for a memorable experience — it made a meaningful difference.

​

This year’s event also showcased the power of meaningful partnership. With support from our growing network, 47 compassionate local, national, and international businesses made ThanksLiving possible. We strengthened community ties and proved that kindness benefits all. Our goal is always to deliver an unforgettable guest experience paired with true value for the ticket price.

​

ThanksLiving celebrations aren't unique — but ours is. And we are proud of that. We bring creativity, resourcefulness, and determination to making FCFS ThanksLiving unlike any other. And yes… we take swag very seriously. This years VIP bag was valued at $121 X with General Admission at $78.

 

Together, we launched the FCFS Food for Thought initiative, further expanding our mission beyond the sanctuary gates to promote plant-based education and accessible nutrition. And through our first on-site food drive, guests helped provide resources to families in our Warm Springs community — a reminder that creating a kinder world starts right where we are.

​

Uplifting community,  resident-centered impact, and shared purpose. That’s what ThanksLiving looks like at Full Circle. 

​

Let’s do it all over again in 2026 — only bigger, bolder, and even more meaningful.

Save the date: Saturday, November 14, 2026. The 9th Annual ThanksLiving is on the horizon, and we’re already working to raise the bar once again. 

​

With 150 guests on site, tickets have sold out for the past three years. When they go live, be ready — they don’t last long.  Make sure to grab yours early!
