Thanks to everyone who came out last night, Pints for Pandas was a huge success!!! We are still crunching the numbers to figure out exactly how much we raised for the Give So They Stay Campaign. Check back later this coming week for this announcement as well as event photos, etc.
This whole event started with an email to 50 of Molly and my friends and through word of mouth, Pints for Pandas became so popular that we had to turn people away at the door last night.
Of course we did not pull this event off just the two of us. We had an amazing group of supporters to which we owe a HUGE thank you! Of this group we would like to recognize for all of their time and effort: Miller Jackson, Jonathan Baker, Kristen Shaw, Paige and Eric Teusink, Pat O'Brien, Lee and Jaime Childers, Jonathan Bailey, Josie Krause, Zoo Atlanta, Toby Parker, and Brian Stay. Most importantly, thanks to all that came out to raise a pint for Atlanta's pandas!
We couldn't have done it without you!
Doug Childers and Molly Dana

Sounds like a huge sucess!! I couldn't attend because I live out of town, but did donate. What do you think about planning another event in October, sorta like Octoberfest, aka. Pandafest and not turn people away, making the event even bigger? I plan to visit ZA in October, I'm visiting Sweetwater on my way in to the city. Thanks for all you hard work and dedication in putting this event together. Let's keep the Pandas in Atlanta. Kudos, Job well done!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an event you guys need to hold again! (and again)
ReplyDeleteI was out of town but would have attended in a heartbeat.
$500,000 is a lot to raise -- a few more pints might help. Maybe Sweetwater or local bars/restaurants might be interested in doing some more for the pandas.
Nice work!
