As neighborhood residents, we feel strongly about giving back to the communities where we serve.This year, we're glad to have been given the opportunity to help out with Grant Park Cooperative Preschool's fund-raising auction on Saturday, March 6. The event this year involved silent and live auctions featuring one-of-a-kind art from local artists, vacation giveaways, restaurant gift certificates, retail items, and anything else you could imagine. Red Robin Group sponsored a champagne pour where one lucky champagne-drinker even won a diamond.
On Saturday, March 20, Red Robin Group participated in Neighborhood Charter School's and Atlanta Charter Middle School's "Go Green" auction with a first-time-ever "Balloon Pop
" at our booth. Rafflers paid $5, $10 and even $20 a "pop" for a chance at donated gift certificates, DVDs, baked goods and more. We sold ALL 85 of our balloons, and raised over $1,500 in our little section of the festivities where, collectively, over 800 people attended and bid on art, retail goods and more.Our next neighborhood support event will be participating as a major spon
sor of the East Atlanta Kid's Club at their annual Brownwood Bike Rally & Run on Saturday, May 15. This annual event in East Atlanta's Brownwood Park draws kids and adults who participate in street bike and Cyclocross-track races, a 5K Run/Walk, and other cycling- and fitness-related activities. The event also includes a jumping castle, a freestyle stunt bike show, a food court, crafts and other fun activities to entertain the whole family. All proceeds benefit the East Atlanta Kids Club, an after-school mentoring and enrichment program for promising youth.
