ATLANTA, GA - Mark your calendars for an evening of fine dining and great fun at one of the participating premier Atlanta restaurants for the 22nd Annual March of Dimes Dining Out event. Purchase a table of ten at a restaurant you have wanted to try or revisit an old favorite. Either way, you will enjoy delectable cuisine with your family, friends, coworkers, or clients and then have the time of your life at the annual Dining Out After Party. This unique fundraising event allows you to mix and mingle with fellow Atlantans who are all coming together with one common goal…to save Georgia’s babies.
Following this one-of-a-kind dining experience at the restaurant of your choice, TWELVE in Atlantic Station will host the ever-popular After Party. The Dining Out After Party will include a wide selection of coffees and desserts, dancing, entertainment, and a fabulous silent auction display that is sure to spark your interests. Some of this year’s items include vacation getaways, jewelry, concert tickets, and restaurant gift certificates in addition to many other wonderful selections.
“I am excited to be part of this wonderful and unique fundraising event,” says Dining Out Event Chairperson Angela Karatassos. "The restaurants will be fabulous and the silent auction is on track to being the biggest and best yet."
