Now that our Philathropic Center is located in Peachtree Corners, we joined other area businesses and organizations and marched in the City of Peachtree Corners “Glow in the Corners” parade this past November. Members decorated a pick-up truck with many holiday items from our thrift store. This was our first Peachtree Corners parade, and it looks like we’ll be making it an annual event.
On April 30, 2018, Assistance League of Atlanta hosted its first annual golf tournament – Driving “Fore”ward – at Bear’s Best Golf Course in Suwanee, GA. We had realched our maximum of 144 golfers playing in beautiful weather. The event included championship golf, breakfast snack, full BBQ lunch, awards, raffle prizes & silent auction after golf. Prizes were awarded for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Place Teams, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive & Long Putt Contest at the Turn. Thanks to all the member volunteers who worked so hard and our generous sponsors for making this event a successful one.
Since moving into our Philathropic Center in 2017 located in Peachtree Corners, this was our chapter’s first participation in the city’s annual celebration on Saturday, June 10th. The festival featured arts and crafts, live music, fun for the kids and a special car show. At the Assistance League booth, we sold chalk-painted furniture items, painted by our members volunteers, and other novelty items. We also had the opportunity to meet and greet our new Peachtree Corners neighbors.
For two days over an October 2018 weekend, men and women amateur and professional tennis players hit the courts to play in support of Assistance League of Atlanta during The Falls of Autry Mills Pro/Am Charity Tennis Tournament. Eighty players competed on twelve courts while family and neighbors came out to cheer from the sidelines.
The Falls has sponsored a charity tennis event for twenty one years. “Most pro/am events are held at country clubs but we’re the only residential facility in Atlanta that does this,” said Blagi Jurjec, head tennis pro at The Falls. “We believe in giving back to the community and we’re proud to be able to do that through our sport,” he added.
The warm-up for the tennis event was a gala kick-off party the night before with the theme of 70’s & 80”s Disco Dance Party. A silent auction of fifty-seven items featuring a $5,000 gift certificate from EntryPoint Door Co., jewelry from Tiffany’s and an Apple watch along with several raffle items netted $10,000 for the evening. Sponsors for the event contributed nearly $20,000 making the Pro/Am a big success.
“We were so excited to have Assistance League as our charity this year.” said Jill Maxon, Pro/Am Chairperson. “A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen and I hope everyone had fun.” Proceeds from this event go to support our capital campaign.
