goBeyondProfit, a first-of-its-kind business leader initiative that inspires business generosity, is proud to celebrate its founder, Rick Jackson, for receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in Corporate Citizenship by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. 

Jackson's career reflects his deep conviction that business can be a powerful force for positive change. This philosophy is evident in Jackson Healthcare, founded in 2000, which empowers talented professionals to improve the lives of patients, families, and communities. 

Building on this foundation, Jackson launched goBeyondProfit in 2017, as a fully funded philanthropic endeavor that provides business leaders across Georgia with a platform to learn from their peers and incorporate generosity into business. As a result of his ongoing investment, goBeyondProfit has helped elevate the entire landscape of business generosity in the state. 

goBeyondProfit has grown to include over 2,200 CEOs, founders and business owners and has recognized more than a dozen prominent companies as goBeyondProfit Champions, including: Aflac, Chick-fil-A, Colony Bank, Cox Enterprises, Creature Comforts Brewing Company, fab’rik, Gas South, Goodr, H.J. Russell and Company, Herschend Enterprises, SignatureFD, Sunnyland Farms, Vector Global Logistics, and W&A Engineering. 

“Rick Jackson exemplifies 'others-first' leadership,” says Megan McCamey, president of goBeyondProfit. “As just one facet of Rick Jackson’s immense generosity, goBeyondProfit is honored to recognize his life-long commitment to improving the lives of every Georgian and everyone that Jackson Healthcare touches.”
