While Life University has received its share of donations in support of growth and program expansion in recent years, the college has also been generous in giving significant amounts to area charitable organizations in need. One particular local nonprofit group, the Georgia Tennis Foundation (GTF), benefited greatly in early December when Life awarded the organization $50,000.
Every year, the GTF holds its Atlanta Slam event, featuring celebrity tennis matches with proceeds benefiting the development of community youth tennis programs. As an institution that emphasizes wellness and physical fitness, Life University supports the GTF by participating as an active sponsor of the Atlanta Slam and has faithfully given proceeds of $50,000 annually.
In addition, the 4th annual Share Your Health event, held in November at Life's outpatient campus clinic - the Center for Health & Optimum Performance - yielded over 600 pounds of non-perishable food donations to MUST Ministries located in Marietta, Ga. The donations aided in feeding hundreds of needy families in Cobb and Cherokee Counties. This latest donation brings the total to nearly 2,000 pounds of food since the annual two-day event's inception in 2006.
In another notable extension of goodwill, Life began its yearly Seasons of Giving charity program in 2008. Each year, around the holidays, various departments throughout the campus are awarded $500 each and are given the privilege of utilizing the money to benefit a worthy cause of their choice.
Though the holidays are a time of giving, Life's philanthropic activities are a year-round effort. Life has established its own internal assistance program, the Life Community Fund, for staff, faculty, and students who may find themselves in dire need due to circumstances beyond their control. The program was implemented a year ago and has helped more than 30 Life Community members so far.
In giving back to the local community, Life University is continuing the legacy of its long-held principles of Lasting Purpose: to give, to do, to love, and to serve out of a sense of abundance.

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
