Hooters Utilizes March Madness to Raise Awareness for Local Charity
From March 1-March 31, Hooters is offering customers an opportunity to purchase a personalized paper balloon icon in exchange for a donation of $1 or more to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The promotion is part of an effort to raise funds and awareness for the charity in honor of Alex Kron, a six-year-old boy who has survived leukemia.
Last year Hooters locations in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Ohio partnered with LLS by selling paper balloons for one month. The promotion raised $25,000 in total and over $4,000 locally.
This year Hooters will continue the four-state partnership, which includes all locations in Lexington and Louisville. The company has set a goal of raising $30,000 and hopes to exceed that amount with the influx of sports fans patronizing the restaurant during March Madness. All funds support services provided by LLS in the community as well as research to cure blood cancers.
For more information about this program or The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, contact Jacky Space at (859)226-0764.

Deata Gregory, owner of The Wedding Center, Inc., knows a thing or two about weddings! What a pefect business for a woman with three daughters of her own! Wedding season is upon us, and Deata shared with HMS tips for brides-to-be who are anxious about picking the perfect gown.
Secrets Of Selecting the Perfect Wedding Gown! – Deata Gregory
Did You Know?
Finding that perfect gown starts long before you ever pick up a magazine or log onto the internet; it starts when you first begin to envision your wedding. The choices you make in the size, style, location and time of day for your wedding celebration have a great deal of influence on the gown you eventually choose. It is the smart bride that has a good idea of what she wants her whole wedding to look like before she starts the hunt for that one perfect dress. Sound crazy? Let’s look at it.
Here is my advice.
Take it slowly. Your gown choice will be easier if you know where you are going to be wearing it. Will you be inside or outside? Formal or informal? Church or another venue? Do a little overall planning before you even think about your gown. That includes establishing your budget. The median price for a wedding gown is $900 to $2800, regardless of what you read in the magazines. Yes, there are $20,000 gowns out there but it is not the norm. Be realistic in your expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Currently, in our studio, we have hundreds of gowns in all price points with a variety of treatments, lengths, fabrics and silohettes. A visit with one of our educated and professional consultants with leave you satisfied and pleased with your gowning experience.
We look forward to helping you find the gown of your dreams…...
Sincerely,
Deata Gregory

Aniston is photographed in her new home in a purple velvet chair…this chair has inundated AD with coveting inquiries. As Ronda’s post states, “The vintage chairs (circa 1970) were purchased from the extraordinary New York based Lobel Modern and covered in a deep violet fabric by Manuel Canovas…”
