ESP Summers are built with intention—every field trip, every camp song, every moment designed to make you feel alive with possibility.✨

This year, Desmond experienced Atlanta Summer Camp for the first time and became an instant fan. With the support of his engaged and caring buddy, he was able to enjoy every moment fully.

His family has also found connection through our monthly family dinners. “ESP is like a family,” his dad shared. “You can see that everyone is rooting for Desmond.”

Stories like Desmond’s remind us why Big Hearts matters—and why your support means everything. Join us in this life-changing work by attending a Talent Show or celebrating at The Gala. Together, we can bring more transformative experiences to more families.❤️

The magic of Big Hearts has arrived — and this year is truly extraordinary. In 2026, we celebrate the 19th Annual Big Hearts season and esp’s 40th anniversary — four decades of community, transformation, and love lived out loud.

Four Talent Shows. One Day of Joy. ✨

For the first time ever, Big Hearts Talent Shows will shine in communities across Georgia on the same day:

📅 February 7, 2026

These shows are where Big Hearts begins — where individuals with disabilities step onto the stage and remind us what courage, confidence, and celebration truly look like.
Join us and be part of their story.

The Big Hearts Gala❤️

Introducing this year’s Big Hearts theme:
“Be Loved…joyfully ever after”❤️📖

This year’s theme reminds us that in a world full of fleeting or fake stories, Big Hearts shares a real one: a story of love, belonging, and community.

On December 4th, we’ll be sharing every opportunity to be involved.

This year’s story is one you won’t want to miss!

Every smile tells a story.
At esp, each laugh, hug, and moment of joy is made possible by you. 💛

When you Give the Gift of esp, you’re not just donating — you’re giving a child or adult with a disability the chance to discover confidence, build friendships, and experience pure belonging.

Imagine a camper learning to dance for the first time. A friend cheering from the sidelines. A parent watching their child light up with joy. That’s the magic your gift creates.

We’re counting down to Giving Tuesday (December 2nd) — but you don’t have to wait to make a difference. Give today and help us spread smiles, laughter, and love that last all year long.

We even have a special opportunity for you to honor someone you love with your donation and receive a beautiful printable card to share that story.
