Grand Opening of Your Pie in Cumming GA to benefit NLB 4/22/2019 5:00 PM - 4/24/2019 7:00 PM

Tue, 16 Apr 2019 15:53:02 GMT

NLB has been selected by brothers Justin and Jason Patterson, owners of Your Pie in Cumming GA, as the recipient of their soft opening event. For three days, April 22, 23 and 24, diners will enjoy FREE pizza while having the opportunity to donate to NLB. Dine and Donate has been very successful in other markets, including the Roswell and Milton locations (also owned by the Justin and Jacob).

Justin and Jacob are graduates of South Forsyth High School. They have seen friends lose their lives due to drug addiction and are committed to help, as they can, to make a difference.

“Sadly, Forsyth County is on the periphery of what is known as the ‘heroin triangle’ in Georgia,” said Jacob Patterson. “Many people who grew up in this area, Justin and myself included, know of individuals and families who are victims of this terrible epidemic. This cause is very close to our hearts, and we knew we wanted to align our restaurant with a local organization that was working to help. We’re thrilled to partner with No Longer Bound for our Dine and Donate and look forward to supporting the community well beyond our grand opening.”

I hope you can join us at one of the days listed below (please sign up) and encourage you to promote this event on our social media page, via email to your friends, your coworkers …. Let’s make this a wonderful event for a great cause.

Giving back has never tasted so good...

Enjoy FREE #YourPie pizza at Your Pie’s soft opening event on Mon. 4/22, Tues. 4/23, and Wed. 4/24.
