DEL.ICIO.USAn upscale alternative to Fan Fest
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So the overpopulated Fan Fest wasn’t your thing?
Here’s a less chaotic happening with some of the Braves.
The 16th annual Tom Glavine’s Spring Training event, benefiting the Georgia Transplant Foundation, is 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Georgia Aquarium.
Organizers expect a range of local sports celebs at the event, which will feature Wolfgang Puck’s cuisine, gaming tables and live and silent auctions.
Past attendees have included Braves Chipper Jones and John Smoltz, and Falcons Alge Crumpler and Keith Brooking.
Over the years Spring Training has raised $3.8 million for the Georgia Transplant Foundation, which provides emergency financial aid, mentoring and scholarships to Georgians affected by organ transplantation.
Tickets are $500. Call 678-514-1185 or see www.gatransplant.org.
