A focal point of Old Farm Day each year is Anderson’s commitment to giving back. “Over the years, we’ve raised funds for local causes, including Fostering Bulloch,” Vicki Anderson explained. This year, Old Farm Day proceeds were dedicated to the Live Like Aiden Memorial Foundation Inc., a nonprofit honoring Aiden Conner Cornwell, who tragically lost his life in a hunting accident in 2020.
Aiden’s family, including his parents, Dennis and Jennifer, and siblings, have turned their grief into action, founding the foundation to award college scholarships and provide youth hunting and gun safety education.

Aiden’s mother, Jennifer Key, shared her motivation to keep his memory alive: “We just want to bring awareness to something so important in our community here in the South. It’s been amazing to see how many people from around the country have reached out to support us and honor Aiden’s memory.”
