Atlanta

3:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.

You're invited to join fellow Wake Foresters in the Atlanta area for the WAKEAtlanta Kickoff Party! We'll be meeting up in Chastain Park to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of a great year for Wake Forest and the WAKEAtlanta community. And if you've moved to Atlanta within the last year, we would love to meet you! Complimentary King of Pops will be provided, and attendees are encouraged to bring a backpack filled with school supplies. All donations will go to Garden Hills Elementary School. Please note that there are no restrooms onsite.
