American GraFrutti had the privilege and pleasure, over the Labor Day weekend, to participate in the 15th Annual, Artists Market – Family Festival, US 10K Classic – “Race for Children in Need”.
With great sponsors like Publix, Gatorade, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Wellstar, just to name a few, the goal of $195,000 was reached! Since 1995, over $2,000,000 has been contributed to local children’s charities.
This year, all contributions are donated to the World Children’s Center – “Every Child Deserves a Loving Home”. The World Children’s Center community of neighborhoods and supportive services are located on a sprawling 710 acres in west Georgia centrally located between Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga. When completely built, the community will include 7 distinct neighborhoods – each with its own park and playground, a school, wellness center, food and clothing distribution center, art center, worship center, among many others.
American GraFrutti passed out samples of its delicious “It’s Not Fruit Cake” and had a delightfully overwhelming response from all ages!
Some of the comments were:
“I like fruit cake, but this is better!”
“You’re right! It’s not fruit cake!”
“It looks healthy, and it’s not too sweet!”
“My son is a fussy eater, and he loves it. He begged me to come over and try it!”
“This is awesome – where can I buy it?”
“This tastes something like my great grandmother made – it takes me back in time!”
“It must be healthy because you guys are not fat!”
To all of the sponsors and attendees who made this a great event—Many Thanks!! These children are our hope – and our future!
Watch for American GraFrutti!! We are taking orders for the holidays!!
We will be at the Cobb Galleria Gardens every Thursday from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.
