Cocktails For The Cup Presented by Lexus

Event Benefitting Atlanta’s The Silverton Foundation

Blue Giraffe Sports and The Fabulous Palm Restaurant in Buckhead will host a charity event on Thursday, Sept. 19, to celebrate the culmination of the 2013 professional golf season in Atlanta. Cocktails For The Cup (CFTC) has become a staple in Atlanta’s fall social schedule, while benefiting a different charity each year, through a gathering of Atlanta’s elite and those in the professional golf world. There will also be a silent auction with approximately 80 items between $20 and $1,000. The 2013 CFTC will donate a portion of its proceeds to a deserving local charity through contributions, ticket sales, and outstanding corporate support.

The 2013 beneficiary of CFTC is The Silverton Foundation, a mortgage, rent and short-term housing assistance program that helps families with hospitalized or critically-ill children maintain their homes and reduce their emotional and financial burdens.

Lexus has a longstanding commitment to support organizations that build, shape and improve children's lives."

 “We look forward to celebrating the end of the golf season in Atlanta with many of our friends, partners, clients and Atlanta’s best at the 2013 Cocktails for the Cup,” said Blue Giraffe Co-Founder Matt Judy. “The Silverton Foundation is a very deserving charity, and we’re extremely pleased that this great event will also help support families and children in need.”
