The Atlanta Final Countdown event will be the second of two Atlanta fundraisers. The first event was held in April at Opera Nightclub in conjunction with the “Member’s Only” networking series, and boasted an eclectic mix of many of the City’s young entrepreneurs, businessmen and women, doctors, consultants, lawyers, accountants, and entertainment industry professionals. It was attended by nearly 600 people and featured an outstanding keynote speaker, Georgia Senator Kasim Reed of District 35, who is currently running for Mayor of the City of Atlanta.

Join us on September 25th at Geisha House as we look to take our fundraising efforts to new heights!

On October 18th, 2007, political elites including Illinois State Senator (13th District) Kwame Raoul, and Illinois State Representative (33rd District) Marlow Colvin, came together and took Chicago by storm. Both events were a huge success and furthered the momentum for future benefits (dubbed “The Tri-Fecta” Series) in Atlanta (April 3rd, 2008), Philadelphia (April 22nd, 2008), and New York (April 24th, 2008).
