Yair Chavez is also a native Atlantan who went to Lake Forest Elementary and Ridgeview Middle School before attending Riverwood International High School. He enjoys playing soccer and basketball, and spending time with his family, which includes 4 younger siblings. Yair had a slight detour in his young life, suffering a severe head injury from a skateboarding accident at the age of 13. He was in a coma for one month and spent a total of three months at CHOA. Even though he had to completely re-learn how to walk and speak and feed himself, he managed to return to class and finish middle school without losing any credits. He will attend Chattahoochee Tech in the fall, majoring in Supply Management and Logistics. Having faced significant challenges throughout his school years, he says he is “extremely glad to be here, walking on that stage to receive my diploma”, and he hopes to influence his brothers and sisters to do the same.

Sandy Springs Police Foundation: Ways to Donate
The Sandy Springs Police Foundation, a 501(c)(3), supports the Sandy Springs Police officers and K9 officers with the essentials to perform their jobs and continue to keep our police force as one of Georgia’s finest and our city as one of the safest. There are several ways you can support the Foundation without any additional money out of your pocket.
A. LESS CRIME ACT: The Georgia General Assembly has passed the LESS Crime Act. It allows you to divert your GA State Tax payment/liability to the Foundation, up to $10,000 (Joint filing), $5,000 (Single filing). With approval from the GA State Dept of Revenue and making your payment directly to the SSPD Foundation. Your payment can be made in one or two ways.
1. Cash Donations. We accept your check or credit card donations as your Less Crime Act payments. Credit card payments can be made online at our website SSPDFoundation.org.
2. Stock. Donating your long-term appreciated stock (held more than one year) directly to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like the Sandy Springs Police Foundation can provide significant tax benefits. Instead of selling stock and paying the capital gains tax, you can donate it directly, avoid the tax, and allow the charity to receive the full value of your gift. Call the SSPF for details on how to accomplish this.
B. GENERAL DONATIONS: There are additional ways to contribute to the Sandy Springs Police Foundation and reduce your income taxes.
1. Donations. You can make a cash donation to the Sandy Springs Police Foundation by sending us a check of any amount or contributing online at our website SSPDFoundation.org.
2. RMDs. If you are required to take an RMD, you can direct a contribution from your RMD to the SSPD Foundation and avoid the income taxes in that portion of the RMD. Total contributions from RMDs in a tax year are limited to $111,000 in 2026. Consult your tax advisor.
3. Stock. Donating your long-term appreciated stock (held more than one year) directly to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like the Sandy Springs Police Foundation can provide significant tax benefits as mentioned above. Call the SSPD Foundation for details on how to accomplish this.
Thank you for supporting your
Sandy Springs Police and the
Safety of our Citizens.
