EIGHT DAYS OF SERVICE
Join your Blank Family of Businesses colleagues for Eight Days of Service to celebrate Arthur Blank’s 80th birthday. Arthur’s commitment to making Atlanta a better place for everyone is an inspiration to us all. There’s no better way to honor his birthday than a week of joining together to Give Back to Others and do positive work in the city he loves so much.
We are proud to partner with Hands On Atlanta during their 2022 Hands On Atlanta Week to create bespoke volunteer events that align with the issues Arthur is passionate about and with the philanthropic interests of The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. There will be opportunities to assist with neighborhood beautification, fighting food insecurity, protecting our environment, and celebrating democracy. You don’t want to miss this impactful week of giving back. Join us and do something good!
