Chattahoochee Plantation Women’s Club Gala Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT JULIE LISCHER, COMMUNICATIONS CHAIR, CHATTAHOOCHEE PLANTATION WOMEN’S CLUB, 404-434-4869, JLISCHER@ATT.NET
The Chattahoochee Plantation Women’s Club (CPWC) presented “Noche de Esperanza” Night of Hope benefiting Camp Hope and Kidz2Leaders at The Atlanta Country Club on February 9, 2019. The colorful Spanish-inspired evening featured a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres reception, special entertainment by flamenco artists and classical guitarists, live and silent auctions, followed by dinner and dancing with music by the popular Papa-Sol Band.
Kidz2Leaders is a local children’s charity committed to ending generational incarceration. They provide stability and opportunity for the children of inmates to break the cycle of incarceration, with a 99% success rate among children that graduate from their program. Camp Hope is a week-long, overnight summer camp that empowers children with the chance to build community, experience new opportunities, and find hope for their future.
“We were thrilled to raise $37,000 for Kidz2Leaders at our Night of Hope event. We sincerely appreciate our generous sponsors and amazing charity committee for a festive evening of wonderful food, dancing and celebrating,” said co-Chairs Missy Malmberg and Heather Rees.
The CPWC is grateful to all the volunteers willing to donate their time and resources to make a difference in our community. For contributions, please visit www.auctria.com/auction/nightofhope2019
