The event will be catered by Metrotainment Restaurant Group (Einstein’s, Cowtippers, and Joe’s on Juniper), with beverages provided by Georgia Beverage Association, Captain Morgan’s Parrot Bay, Cuervo, Smirnoff, and Peroni Beer.

Help us make sure Atlanta's children start the school year off on the right foot. We look forward to seeing you at Backpack in the Park 2008!!
