[ARCHIVED] 2017 Mayors' Christmas Motorcade Donations Now Being Accepted

Smaller Motorcade2

It's time once again for the City of Avondale Estates to collect items most needed by patients this Christmas at Georgia Regional Hospital at Atlanta (GRHA). The Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) began the Mayors' Christmas Motorcade in 1958 at the request of then-Governor Ernest Vandiver. The event provides holiday gifts for patients in hospitals run by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). It also raises awareness for DBHDD programs and patients.

Your generous donations will make Christmas dreams come true! Please send new and unwrapped gifts. Donations of wrapping paper, ribbons and bows are also needed. Cash donations are welcome! Checks should be made payable to GRHA Patient Benefit Fund. Gifts or donations are now being accepted at City Hall until December 6.
