Puttin' on the Ritz for Good Cause
Dust off your dancing shoes and lay out the black tie for a first class singles event that benefits the Children's Restoration Network's HeadSmart Program, which provides education to break the cycle of homelessness.
Atlanta Metro Singles member, Cliff Kinsey, heads up the Children's Restoration Network. Kinsey has arranged for Atlanta Metro Singles members to attend the 13th Annual "Celebrate the Children Gala" at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on Saturday at 6 p.m. Tickets are normally $150 each, but just for the Atlanta Metro Singles group, the tickets will be $100 each. Click here to RSVP.
All proceeds from the Gala benefit The Children's Restoration Network. This charity believes that education is the key to ending homelessness and provides a HeadSmart program, which includes scholarships, tutoring, mentoring and more for children in need.
There will be about 450 people attending. The night includes a 4-Course Haute Cuisine meal served with a Bottomless Glass of Wine, followed by Dancing to the fabulous band, GLOW, and then shopping among the hundreds of auction items ($90,000 worth) at the Charity Auction, a sizzling hot dance demonstration by the professional group Daza Dance among other fun activities.
