Everyone had a blast Horsin' Around for Hope! Touchdown Georgia, the Bulldawg Illustrated sponsored horse, finished second in the first race, but that didn't dampen a great night!
The Athens Country Club opened its doors on Thursday evening for a charity benefit for Hope Haven of Northeast Georgia, a G2NO event called Horsin’ Around for Hope.
Donors and supporters enjoyed a fun filled evening featuring casino blackjack, roulette, craps and poker tables, a silent auction, and simulated horse races, with all proceeds going towards Hope Haven. guide2athens was more than happy to get into the fun with funny money and help out with a great cause.
Sarah Austin, Lisa Irwin and April Williams were our gracious greeters at the entrance:
