The Galleria Chat appears on this blog each week. The Chat
provides a hearty helping of events and announcements to keep you in the know
about the area surrounding the Atlanta Galleria Office Park. So without further
ado…
Chilly Runs for Good Causes. Brave the cold this weekend for two road races, each supporting an important cause.
The Christopher Heitzman Benefit 5K Run takes place Saturday, Jan. 26. The race will raise funds for Heitzman, a recent Lassiter graduate who was seriously injured last summer in a car accident. Because of his injuries, he requires a wheelchair, constant medical care and additional surgeries.
The race starts at 8:30 a.m. at Lassiter High School, located at 2601 Shallowford Road in Marietta. Stay after the race for snacks and live music. Contact Jamie Cole at [email protected] for more information. Registration is $20 in advance or $25 on race day.
The Bee Brave 5K supports the Mary Kay Foundation and women’s shelters. The race begins at 8 a.m. this Sunday, Jan. 27. This Peachtree Road Race qualifier will take place at the Barrett Summit office park, located at 1990 Vaughn Road in Kennesaw. Registration is $30, which you can complete online.
Girls Night Out. The Marietta Museum of History is partnering up with Swirl Creative to mix fashion with history during their “Sip, Swirl and Twirl” event that will take place this Saturday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Cobb ladies are invited to wear their favorite little black dresses while enjoying wine, hors d’oeuvres and the museum’s display of fashion over the decades. Each attendee will leave with a gift bag as well.
Tickets, which will not be sold at the door, are $10 each, with proceeds benefitting the museum. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the event’s website at www.sipswirlandtwirl.com.
