    Grady foundation bolsters board, fundraising

    Posted in: Articles

    Just as the Grady Health System has been undergoing a transformation, so has the Grady Health Foundation.

    Established 14 years ago to support the operations of Grady Hospital, the foundation has just doubled the size of its board and is bolstering its community presence and fundraising efforts.

    Several of the new board members represent companies that have made major gifts toward the $325 million Grady capital campaign, aimed at upgrading the hospital’s technology and facilities.

    “We want their time and talent in addition to their dollars,” explained Lisa Borders, president of the Grady Health Foundation. “We are rebuilding the board in two ways — going to people who have invested in the hospital and get them to stay involved and looking for the skill sets we need to sustain the foundation and support the health system.” Read More | Comments

    It’s Hausmann Vs. Keim In Primary Battle To Replace Riley

    Posted in: Articles

    The July 20 primary ballot just got a little more crowded as two candidates announced their intent to replace Lynne Riley on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.

    By John Fredericks / Staff

    The July 20 primary ballot just got a little more crowded as two candidates announced their intent to replace Lynne Riley on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.

    Riley will be forced to give up her solidly conservative District 3 seat when she files papers to run for the state house next week. The district represents Johns Creek, Milton, Alpharetta and most of Roswell on the commission.

    Both candidates are Republicans. But the similarity ends there.

    HAUSMANN PLEDGES TO BE NORTH FULTON’S WATCHDOG

    Johns Creek Councilwoman Liz Hausmann says she’s ready to fill Riley’s shoes.

    “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Post 5 City Councilwoman for Johns Creek,” the veteran Republican and former school board member said. “It was a tremendous experience to be part of the start up of our new city. Now, I am ready to put my skills to work for the county.” Read More | Comments

    Robb Pitts announces re-election campaign, wins photo of the day

    Posted in: Articles

    Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts — he who loves gambling, local celebrities and music halls of fame — has announced that he’s running for re-election. We’d normally focus on other matters until we found the time to spin this in some humorous way, which is difficult on Fridays, when we worship at the throne of the Deadline God, ruler of all mankind.

    Unfortunately, Pitts won’t let us do that — because he’s kicking off his campaign with typical flamboyance. On May 1, he’ll host a private fundraiser that will feature three televised boxing matches, casino games and live music by a band called The Shadows featuring Luther “Houserocker” Jackson. A long list of well-known local names, including Guy Millner, Eric Tanenblatt, Michael Robison, John Wieland and many others, have signed on to help Pitts raise cash.

    The invitation to this shindig featured this photo.

    Marcus gives $20M to help Grady

    Posted in: Articles

    Bernie Marcus is extending a hand to the financially flailing Grady Memorial Hospital.

    The Marcus Foundation Inc. has given Grady $20 million — joining a roster of high-profile donors, including the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, which committed $200 million to Grady over four years.

    The financial gifts, industry insiders suggested, will encourage others to back the Grady cause, making it easier for the financially strapped hospital to make its $325 million fundraising target.

    The $20 million award is a commitment to preserving a major trauma center that benefits the entire state, said Marcus, philanthropist, co-founder of The Home Depot Inc. and benefactor of the Georgia Aquarium.
    “Grady is the key trauma center in all of Georgia,” Marcus said. “Frankly, without it I really don’t know what the state of Georgia would do, and the city of Atlanta especially.”
