Justin Bieber tickets, Matt Ryan jersey up for grabs at PADV benefit

Justin Bieber concert tickets, a signed Matt Ryan jersey and a step inside a Delta flight simulator are among the exclusive auction items that will be offered at the Buckhead Ritz-Carlton this Saturday, when the Partnership Against Domestic Violence celebrates its silver anniversary at the 25th annual Hearts with Hope Gala. 

The event will feature a performance by two-time Dove Award-nominee and Praise 102.5 FM show host Darlene McCoy. Silent and live auction items will include VIP passes to see Justin Bieber, who performs at Philips Arena in Atlanta in August.

Also up for grabs: the "Ultimate Men’s Weekend" featuring a Porsche Boxster for the weekend and an in-home steak dinner for 10 from Capital Grille Perimeter; a Delta flight simulator visit; a golf foursome at East Lake Golf Club; and four ride-a-longs at Atlanta Motor Speedway. 

That's not all! Guests also will have the chance to bid on Atlanta Falcons sideline passes, a signed Matt Ryan jersey, a Capital Grille cocktail party and more.

Organizers note the serious mission behind all the fun.

“The Annual Hearts with Hope Gala is our largest fundraiser and critical to supporting PADV’s mission,” said Meagan Fulmer, president and chief executive officer. “Since Georgia ranks sixth in the nation for domestic violence, it is very important for us to continue to raise funds and ensure PADV provides services for survivors and their children. We’d like to thank our sponsor, Verizon, for their long-standing commitment and support of domestic violence prevention.”

PADV is the largest and one of the oldest nonprofit domestic violence agencies in Georgia. It has served approximately 18,000 women and children every year through emergency intervention, violence prevention and long-term advocacy. At this year’s gala, PADV will recognize 11 Legacy Society inductees who have given their time, energy and resources to support PADV.

For information see the PADV web site or connect with the organization through Twitter or Facebook. You can buy tickets here
