Junior League of Gwinnett and North Fulton Counties to Host High Heels & High Times Fundraiser

The Junior League of Gwinnett and North Fulton Counties, Inc. (JLGNF) is pleased to announce its ninth annual High Heels & High Times (HHHT) fundraiser. The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 19 at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta on 5750 Windward Parkway.

JLGNF’s largest fundraiser, HHHT promotes girls’ self-esteem and features a ladies’ brunch, fashion show, silent auction and opportunity to shop with local vendors. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and supporters, HHHT raised more than $15,000 to benefit the Strong Girls, Bright Futures self-esteem program and other League initiatives in 2016. With an expected attendance of 250, JLGNF has set a goal of raising $25,000 this year.

The most highly anticipated aspect of HHHT is the Strong Girls, Bright Futures Workshop. 25 girls in sixth through eighth grades will participate in the one-day self-esteem workshop and receive complete training on nutrition, wellness, personal safety and financial literacy. The workshop is part of the Strong Girls, Bright Futures program, which teaches girls how to be intelligent, strong, confident, creative, unique and accomplished so that they feel secure, make positive choices and think critically about the world around them. Workshop attendees will also take part in the HHHT fashion show.

Tickets are available to the public at $50 for adults and $35 for children under 10 years of age. Corporate sponsorship levels are also available and start at $250. Current supporters include Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation, which provided a $1,000 grant through its Operation Round Up program to help fund the Strong Girls, Bright Futures Workshop, the Gwinnett Daily Post, BrandBank, Bustle, FIS, Metro Atlanta Reporters, Relationship Recovery Center, Susan Older of Harry Norman Realty and Walls Dental. Tickets and sponsorship packages can be purchased online at jlgnf.org
