Heart on Main Street Atlanta Market event raises $25K for independent retailers
Heart on Main Street’s One Day. One Heart. fundraiser brought the gift and home industry together for a day of giving at AmericasMart Atlanta. The event raised more than $25,000 to benefit independent retailers impacted by natural disasters.
Hosted across 11 participating showrooms, the event was more than a fundraiser it was a statement of solidarity. Attendees were invited to visit participating showrooms and scan QR codes to make donations throughout the day, with each donation going directly to support rebuilding efforts for Main Street retailers across the country.
Participating showrooms included: The Butler Group, Two’s Company, OneCoast, The Link Companies, Raz Imports, nora fleming, Road Runners, tag, Transpac Brands and Gib Carson and Associates.
“This is what makes our industry so special,” said Patrick Keiser, executive director of Heart on Main Street. “We have fierce competition on the sales floor, but when small businesses are in trouble, we come together. Events like One Day. One Heart. show that this community is always ready to step up for Main Street.
Partnering showrooms embraced the opportunity to turn foot traffic into real-world impact.”
Proceeds from the event will support Heart on Main Street’s disaster relief fund.
