There's no better cause to support than WSB's annual Care-a-Thon , benefiting Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. And lending your support could lead to an incredible opportunity to meet two of Atlanta's most beloved sports heroes.
The 17th annual News 95.5 & AM 750 WSB Care-a-Thon will air Thursday and Friday (July 27-28). Donations made to the WSB Care-a-Thon will help fund family support services, research and the fellowship program at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Supporters at special levels will have some exclusive opportunities.
We've covered this event in the past and can attest: it's an incredible night with great food, fun conversation and an incredible opportunity to meet Matt and hear from him and his teammates.
Longtime Braves closer John Smoltz is getting into the action as well. On Sunday, Aug. 13, the Hall of Famer hosts his annual Atlanta Braves Celebrity Am Draw Party and Auction at the exclusive City Club of Buckhead. The first 25 callers to make a donation of $1,000 to the Care-a-Thon will receive two tickets to the party, as well as an autographed John Smoltz baseball and jersey signed by Smoltz and his longtime manager Bobby Cox. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. and includes other sports celebrities, as well as a silent auction and live auction.
As unbelievable as he was on the field all those years, Smoltz might be even more incredible in person. Having had the chance to interview him many times over the years and watch him interacting with fans, we can promise a memorable experience for those who will join him on Aug. 13.
