BRACK: Learn the fascinating story of the Kendeda Fund
By Elliott Brack | Perhaps you have heard of the Kendeda Fund, a nationwide nonprofit we learned that has been based in Georgia in a story from the Saporta Report. We read about it going out of business at the end of 2023, and found it to be one of the most interesting stories of the year, quietly and virtually anonymously operating without most people realizing who was behind it.
Gwinnett Forum | March 28, 2025
“A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.”
—American cardiologist Paul Dudley White (1886-1973).
Continuing objectives
Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His 2025 list:
- Move statewide non-partisan judicial and school board elections to the date of the General Election.
- More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
- Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
- Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
- Gwinnett planners to encourage condos and townhouses instead of apartments.
- County-wide microtransit services.
