Red Shoe Lunch
Please join us for our 13th Annual Red Shoe Lunch. The event will take place on Saturday, February 25, 2023 from 12p-3p at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort | 100 Rue Charlemagne Dr, Braselton, GA 30517.
Supporters! 2023 marks our 13th consecutive year hosting this event. We have done a great job raising awareness about heart disease; however, we have not done the best job raising funds. Prior to securing our non-profit status, all proceeds went to the American Heart Association (AHA). To date we have raised over $21,000 for AHA; however, we haven’t been able to cover the costs for the lunch or raise money for our grassroots efforts (helping those in the communities we live).
Now that we have secured our non-profit status, all proceeds from the lunch will go to the Veronica Blount Memorial Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We will also make our annual contribution to the American Heart Association via the Veronica Blount Memorial Fund with AHA.
Due to the rise in food costs and service costs, we were forced to increase our ticket sales this year. We suggest our supporters take advantage of the Early Bird ticket sales which will end on January 22, 2023. A portion of all ticket sales will be tax deductible. Please check the ticket details for more information.
