Southern Bears is hosting a charity drive tonight at F.R.O.G.S. Cantina to benefit Jerusalem House’s General Resident Program.
Jerusalem House provides housing for homeless and low-income individuals and families affected by HIV / AIDS.
The group will collect non-perishable food items, paper plates, napkins, toilet paper, towels for donation. Southern Bears will also accept a monetary donation that will be used to purchase much needed items. There will be a bin outside of F.R.O.G.S. for collection.
With just a few weeks remaining in the race to be Queen of the Atlanta Cotillion, there is no clear front runner in the fundraising for AID Atlanta, making this year extra special.
“Things are going great. In some ways, this year seemed to get off to a slower start, but each class is different,” says Bryon Brown, Cotillion co-chair.
For example, this year’s class of debutantes — men who dress as women, but please don’t call it drag — didn’t hold as many pool parties to raise money, as in years past, Brown says.
