ABOUT US

We are proud descendants of Willie and Mary Dawson, whose legacy began in Dawson and Albany, Georgia. Rooted in love, resilience, and unity, our family continues to grow and thrive across generations. This reunion is a celebration of our shared heritage, cherished memories, and the bonds that keep us connected.

Our journey is a testament to the strength and perseverance of those who came before us, shaping the foundation of our family today. As we gather, we honor their legacy by creating new memories, strengthening relationships, and embracing the next generation. This reunion is more than just an event—it’s a time to reconnect, reflect, and celebrate the love that binds us together.
