ATHLETICS | BIG B LIVES ON

Gateway Center, the beneficiary of the Big B Clothing Drive, provides access to critical services and housing for the homeless.

Center,” Thomas says. “She was pretty impacted, as we all were, by (Adams’) death, and she’s come a long way in healing.” Gateway Center appears enriched for sake of Georgia Tech, and specifically its student-athletes and Victoria Flores. So, the construction took time. The sparks that triggered the construction – Flores’ first meeting with Adams and her meetings with Phillips at Gateway Center -- were nearly instantaneous. “I like it, because they have clients, and they help people rebuild their lives,” she says. “They have them housed there. They get the treatment they need, like mental health [services]. They get financial literacy, they learn how to take care of themselves, how to find a job, how to find a place, how to re-start their lives,” Flores says. “When I had the idea, I knew it right then and there that I was going to do it, and whenever student-athletes have an idea like that in terms of volunteering or anything like that, they go to Leah. She’s like the MVP of GT Athletics. She’s the most supportive person. She was like, ‘Let’s get on it.’”
