Paula B. Hennessy

Paula Hennessy grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Sweet Briar College in Sweet Briar, Virginia.

Upon moving to Atlanta in 1977, Paula worked for Rich’s, Inc. as a buyer in a number of departments spanning a 10-year career.

She was deeply involved in her children’s activities at the Atlanta Speech School, Trinity School and Marist School. While at Marist, she photographed all varsity sports from 2002 – 2005 and allowed the Athletic Department to sell the photos as a fundraiser for the school.

Paula was one of four founding members who established a sporting clays shooting Tournament (Atlanta Charity Clays Tournament) to benefit Atlanta’s children’s charities, raising $50,000 in the first year. Now in its 26th year, the tournament has raised over $4.6 million dollars.
