Tastemakers Help Haiti
The devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Haiti may have caused immeasurable damage to a nation, but thankfully, it has also encouraged aid from so many generous people in the U.S. and abroad. Here are just a few stylish events we’ve uncovered in Atlanta that offer you a fun way to get involved and raise money for this deserving cause:
Stop in at the new Midtown lounge Aurum—designed by local design luminary Michael Habachy—on Saturday, January 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. for a fundraising drive replete with tasty appetizers and industry faces. Food will be provided by restaurants such as Silk, Pacific Grill, Hsu’s, Alon’s Shaun’s and Loca Luna, while raffle prizes from local businesses OwenLawrence, Blue MedSpa, Spice Market, The W Midtown, MetroFresh, Shaun’s Edgewood Social Club, Lupe Taqueria, Top Flr, Alon’s, P’cheen International Bistro & Pub, James Madison Salon, Habachy Designs and mcuh more will be up for grabs. Your in-kind donation, which will go toward your choice of three charities—CARE International, Partners in Health, and Save the Children—is your ticket in.
At the Environment Furniture showroom on the Westside, all sales of BRANDAID artwork will go toward Haitian relief efforts. Prices for the works, which feature the art of local Haitan artisans, start at $120. This promotion also applies to Environment’s New York, Los Angeles and Costa Mesa showrooms.
Andy Alibaksh and Arnaud Michele, owners of the Amuse!, Anise, Café Diem, Après Diem, Carpe Diem, Village Plaza and Carroll Street Café family of restaurants, are hosting a special dine-out event to aid the Haitian relief efforts. On Tuesday, January 26, 20 percent of all purchases on your bill at these participating restaurants will go toward Doctors Without Borders, currently aiding Haitian disaster survivors. Visit the link to the event on Facebook to make your R.S.V.P. official.
Visit Emily Amy Gallery on the Westside for the Aide Haiti for a cocktail fundraiser on Friday, January 29 from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Proceeds from this auction of art and exclusive items from local businesses will go to Care.org and Habitat for Humanity, both providing immediate and long-term relief to the people of Haiti.
