CowParade Atlanta Auctions Cows for Charity at Georgia World Congress Center

After three months of cows on parade around Atlanta, the CowParade Atlanta charity event will conclude with an auction at the Georgia World Congress Center. More than 100 life-sized fiberglass cows will be for up for bid at the auction on Nov. 13 from
6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Georgia Ballroom (Building C).

Tickets cost $100 each and proceeds from the evening will benefit the Southeast Division of the American Cancer Society and TechBridge, a non-profit organization providing high quality, subsidized technology consulting and development services to Georgia charitable organizations.

More than 12,000 people visited the cows during their debut at Centennial Olympic Park and an estimated three million have viewed the cows over the course of the exhibition. Atlanta is the first Southeastern city to host a CowParade.

CowParade is an international public art exhibition that first appeared in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1998 and since then has been hosted by 17 cities around the world. CowParade has raised more than $9 million for charitable organizations and more than $1.5 million has been paid to local artists. For further information or to order tickets for the live auction, call the CowParade Atlanta Hotline at 404-527-HERD, email info@cowparadeatlanta.com or visit www.cowparadeatlanta.com .
