Fans will be encouraged to text “GRADY” to 50555 to donate $5 to one of Atlanta’s oldest healthcare facilities. Supporters can also make their donation at www.gradyhealthfoundation.org.
Lisa Borders, president of the Grady Health Foundation said:
“We are extraordinarily excited that Atlanta’s entertainment community will join Grady in what may be the only grassroots fund-raising campaign of this kind in the country. Public hospitals are woven into the fabric of our communities and yet rarely does the community come together in this way to support our important work. Atlanta is a special place, with special people who are genuinely concerned about each other and the city.”
The G2G campaign will run through the end of the year and include a press reception in October and a series of promotional events around the city. TV spots are currently airing on local cable stations.
Grady hopes to raise $100,000 through the G2G campaign.
