Plan now to join ShamRockin’ for a Cure in Alpharetta

Volunteers with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation are inviting the public to the St. Patrick’s Day-themed ShamRockin’ for a Cure celebration at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 18 at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta.

Launched in 2009 by a group of friends, ShamRockin’ for a Cure has raised more than $2.9 million dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This year’s event includes live music, food and drinks from 25+ vendors, along with live and silent auctions all to raise funds to cure cystic fibrosis.

“We are proud to continue the tradition of ShamRockin’ for a Cure and bring the Atlanta community together for a great night that has an even greater cause,” said Natalie Adams, organizer of the event in a statement. “With your support, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis and make CF stand for Cure Found.”

Tickets are $115. Sponsorships are still available starting at $3,000 for suites. Details: www.shamrockinforacure.com.
