Atlanta's Launches Yelp Helps!

The Yelp Atlanta community knows how to party with a purpose!

On a rainy Tuesday night hundreds of Atlantans came together to celebrate 21 local non-profits at the Georgia World Congress Center. We raised over $1,500 for the participants at the door, in addition to the money they raised individually via raffles, games, photobooths, and more. From carnival games to cooking demonstrations, puppies to ponies, and Elvis and Santa, there really was something for everyone. 

Participating non-profits:

Ahimsa House
Buckhead Christian Ministry
Special Equestrians of Georgia
Gigi's Playhouse
Georgia Coalition for Physical Activity and Nutrition
Atlanta Community ToolBank
Athena's Warehouse
Historic Oakland Foundation
Girl Talk
Refugee Resettlement & Immigrations Services of Atlanta
MedShare
Global Health Action
Hi-Hope Service Center
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
Our Sisters Project
The Creatives Project
Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption
Empty Stocking Fund
Feminist Women's Health Center
Lifecycle Building Center
Atlanta Bully Rescue

In addition to the warm fuzzies, Yelpers got full bellies thanks to our food sponsors at OMG Cup and Cakes, Uncle Maddio's Pizza, Pure Knead, Cypress Street Pint + Plate, Pirate's Booty, Pie Shop, and Googie Burger. Local beer like Jailhouse Brewing and Red Hare were on hand as well as Magner's Cider.
