Upcoming Events
Assistance League of Atlanta participates in community events for visibility and fundraising, increasing our ability to help those at risk.
All year long, we set aside glamorous clothes, furs, shoes, handbags and jewelry for our special Glitz and Glam Sale each fall. In early November, shoppers are invited to get their glam on and buy their holiday finery at Attic Treasures. There is something for everyone in the family, even the children.
For four consecutive years Assistance League of Atlanta has participated in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens’, ‘Scarecrows in the Garden’ event. The event takes place throughout the entire month of October so visitors to the Gardens can enjoy the various scarecrow-type exhibits. Each year we submit a different version of the ‘Thrift Witch.’ This year, she appeared as “Ann BOOleyn.” Every year, the creative team of members make her costume entirely from donations from our thrift store, Attic Treasures, which is why we call her the ‘Thrift Witch.’
On Monday October 19, 2020, Assistance League of Atlanta hosted its third annual golf tournament – DRIVING “FORE”WARD – at Bear’s Best Golf Course in Suwanee, GA. The event included championship golf, breakfast, snacks, lunch on the course, prizes for play, fifty-fifty drawing & a silent auction. Prizes were awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive & Long Putt Contest at the Turn. To give back to those who give so much to us, generous donors sponsored over 40 area police and firemen so they could enjoy a free round of golf. We had over 100 players in all participating in this year’s tournament.
ACTION! Week is a National Assistance League annual event with over 100 chapters across the U.S. helping less fortunate children experience the transformation that having someone care about them can make. While the chapters choose to celebrate ACTION! Week in their own unique way, we are all working together in a common purpose of helping children in need.This year, Assistance League of Atlanta, addressed hunger among school children in our community through our new pilot program, Backpack Buddies, which provides food for children who might otherwise lack meals over the weekend by sending them home with a backpack of food on Fridays
Our custom, on-your-site fashion shows, featuring Attic Treasures upscale clothing, shoes and accessories, are wildly popular! We have held five shows this fiscal year. If you would like to host a fashion show, contact us. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase the modeled items, including jewelry. You’ll be surprised at the quality and pizzazz of our fashions!
Our Philathropic Center is located in Peachtree Corners, so we look forward to participating in the city’s annual celebration in June of each year. The festival features arts and crafts, live music, fun for the kids and a special car show. At our Assistance League booth, we sell chalk-painted furniture items, painted by our members volunteers, and other novelty items.
