WINE WOMEN AND SHOES “The goal of this event is to make sure that every guest has the time of their life and is transported to Napa Valley, enjoying the sights and sounds of wine country. We know how many events take place in Savannah, and it’s not lost on us that our city supports our event and mission to the fullest. When all is said and done and the lights are turned off, over 600 attendees and 50 volunteers made the 2018 Wine Women & Shoes event the most successful, with over $170k raised for the children and families of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire.”

SAVANNAH COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE "There are few local nonprofits using holistic medicine to enact social change. As offbeat as it may sound, we've turned acupuncture into a public service to improve healthcare access. We provide flexibility in how the community can budget their healthcare by allowing anyone to pay whatever they want within the sliding scale.

Savannah Community Acupuncture believes everyone has the right to healthcare and that complementary medicine like acupuncture can help fulfill that need.”

THE HIPSTER HOUND “There are a couple of things we feel really set us apart. The first is the Wag’n Wagon, our doggy shuttle bus service that picks up and drops off your dog for daycare or boarding during the week in downtown, Ardsley Park and Midtown. The second is the fact we are open Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for daycare and boarding pick up and drop off. When we first decided to open our facility, we wanted to be convenient for our clients and their schedules. Being open seven days a week allows our clients to reunite sooner with their fur baby rather than having to wait until we are open again like other facilities.”
