Our Winter Giveaway is back

Hosted by

The Winter Giveaway is hosted by Prince Carter, founder of Real Rooted Media Company, and Kaylee Jean Stokes, photographer on our team. Now in its second year, it brings local business partners together across Northwest Georgia, from Rome to Rockmart to Cartersville.

The heart behind it

When Prince was four years old, a woman he had never seen stopped him at a Christmas nativity scene and handed him an envelope for his mom. Seconds later, she was gone. He still calls it a Christmas miracle, and it's the reason he wrote A Cheerful Giver.

This giveaway comes from that same place. We want to be a beacon of hope during the holidays and show people they aren't forgotten.

Get A Cheerful Giver, our 21-day devotional, and receive one giveaway entry as a gift from us.

The Family Fund

Prince Carter and Kaylee Jean Stokes started the Family Fund to be a beacon of hope for local families during the holidays. Last year it helped two families in Northwest Georgia.

Every $500 to $1,000 helps one family. Support comes from A Cheerful Giver profits, gifts to the fund, and 10% of qualifying bookings made before December 10.

Donations do not include a giveaway entry and are not tax-deductible.
