Lifesaving Appreciation
Buckhead Coalition President Sam Massell, the only Jewish mayor Atlanta has ever had, accepts a certificate June 1 from Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell commending the coalition for civic services, particularly its trauma kit program for the Atlanta Police Department. The kits, for officers on the streets, are meant to save lives from blood loss. Each kit costs $50. The coalition donated the initial 30 kits, and the Midtown Alliance and Central Atlanta Progress each donated 30. The total number of kits has grown to 645 toward a goal of 1,000. Kits can be donated in any number by contacting Garth Peters at the coalition at 404-233-2228 or sending donations to the Trauma Kit Account, State Bank & Trust Co., 3399 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 1900, Atlanta, GA 30326.
