Good
afternoon,
Beautyrest mattress is hosting a special donation ceremony in support of the DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department next Monday, Dec. 12. I thought you may be interested in covering the project, which involves a "mattress makeover" for DeKalb County fire stations -- after all who is more deserving of a good night's sleep than first responders? Once this year's donation is complete, Beautyrest will have given 235 mattresses to DCFRD so all DeKalb firefighters can get the restful sleep they need to perform optimally and keep residents safe. I've provided a media alert below with information about Monday's event along with background about Beautyrest's Firehouse Recharge program for your reference. We'd love to see you out at DeKalb Fire Station 6 on Monday morning; however, if you're unable to attend, I'm happy to provide images and additional details as a follow up to the event. Thank you, Katie O’Neill Three (On behalf of Beautyrest) 404-405-8435 koneill@3atlanta.com Media Advisory – Monday 12/12 BEAUTYREST TO HOST DEKALB COUNTY FIRE STATION “MATTRESS MAKEOVER” AND DONATION CEREMONY - Firehouse Recharge initiative gives metro-area firefighters the restful sleep they need - Next Monday, Dec. 12, Serta Simmons Bedding (SSB), LLC, will host a ceremony celebrating its donation of 235 Beautyrest® mattress sets to the DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department (DCFRD). DeKalb County Fire Chief Darnell Fullum will join company representatives and firefighters at DCFRD Station 6 at 9 a.m. for the mattress makeover followed by the brief ceremony at 10:30 a.m. This year’s donation includes 85 mattress sets, which – when combined with last year’s donation of 150 mattresses – will outfit all of the bunkrooms in DCFRD’s 26-station department covering 15 communities. Now in its fourth consecutive year, Firehouse Recharge is the Atlanta-based Beautyrest brand’s philanthropic initiative to provide fire departments in Atlanta and the surrounding metro area with new mattresses, so firefighters get the restful, recharging sleep they need to keep our communities safe. SSB believes in the importance of good, quality sleep for firefighters and the average person alike. Firehouse Recharge is an opportunity for the company to continue championing good sleep for those who need it most, while also creating a platform to inform and educate the public. With more than 100,000 yearly responses, and one of the largest territories in the state, there is hardly a team more worthy of restful sleep than the DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department. Beautyrest has donated more than 500 mattresses to local fire departments over the course of its ongoing initiative and plans to continue expanding its efforts to the greater metro area and beyond. What: Beautyrest® Firehouse Recharge Mattress Makeover and Donation Ceremony Who: Hosted by Serta Simmons Bedding, LLC. Interviews will be available with Darnell D.

The Day Before is a Pre-Thanksgiving Event Feeding 1,000+ Homeless Families in Atlanta
Here’s some “feel good” news
about three Atlanta companies (including Renewal Design-Build of Decatur)
teaming up to feed 1,000+ homeless families in Atlanta at an event called “The
Day Before”.
FACEBOOK PAGE:
Here is a link to the
facebook page that was just set up to promote the event. If you can help
promote/share this on social media, it would be greatly
appreciated: https://www.facebook.com/tdbefore/?pnref=story
NEWS RELEASE:
Renewal Design-Build, Jim
‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q and Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q Teaming Up to Feed 1,000+ Homeless in
Atlanta The Day Before Thanksgiving
The Day Before is a Pre-Thanksgiving Event
Feeding 1,000+ Homeless Families in Atlanta
ATLANTA, GA, November, 21, 2016 –On Wednesday,
November 23 starting at 11 am, over 1,000 homeless people in Atlanta will enjoy
a pre-Thanksgiving day feast at an event called The Day Before. The
meals will be served at the Our House shelter located at 173 Boulevard NE, Atlanta, GA 30312 and at
the Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless located at 477
Peachtree Street, NE, Atlanta, GA 30308.
Three local companies have teamed up to create and
coordinate this event including: Renewal
Design-Build of Decatur, Jim ‘N Nick’s
Bar-B-Q of Atlanta and Fox Bros.
Bar-B-Q of Atlanta who will be cooking and serving traditional Thanksgiving
meals. Sysco Atlanta generously donated all 80 turkeys for the event.
Additional funds raised will be used to purchase socks, hats and clothing for
the homeless.
“It’s a great feeling to help those in need,” says David
Michelson, President of Renewal Design-Build. “We are passionate about our
commitment to our community, and we welcome opportunities to pitch in and help.
It’s been gratifying to see other companies so eager to join in and make this a
bigger and better event. We also hope to raise awareness so more individuals
and companies get involved and make a difference in our community.”
Event History:
Two years ago, Anthony Hamilton, Jobsite Ambassador with
Renewal Design-Build, organized an event to feed 500 people in Atlanta. He
collected donations from employees and clients. When he started to organize the
event again this year, he mentioned it to Mike Hufler, a partner with Jim ‘N
Nick’s Bar-B-Q. Hufler got excited and reached out to Jeremy Chambers, owner of
the Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q in Atlanta, and Jonathan
Fox, owner of Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, who both readily agreed to help.
Here is a link to an 11 Alive feature about Anthony Hamilton
and the 2014 event he coordinated: http://www.11alive.com/news/local/southwest-atlanta/good-samaritan-provides-hundreds-with-hot-meals/253273064
Hamilton created the family tradition of feeding the homeless the day
before Thanksgiving years ago. “My inspiration for the event came from memories
of my own childhood and knowing what it was like to be hungry and in need,”
said Hamilton. “I was helped by many good people along the way, and I wanted to
instill the value of caring for others in my two sons. You never know when you
may be on the other end and need a helping hand.”
ABOUT Fox Bros. BAR-B-Q:
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q is an
award-winning barbecue restaurant located just south of Little Five Points in
Atlanta. They are known for their unique Southern-style barbecue with a Texas
flair. The Fox brothers developed a sauce that mixes the flavors of Texas with
the heat of the South. It's a tomato-based sauce with a hefty splash of vinegar
and a southern sweetness, with a subtle blast of Texas heat. We call it
"Sweet with Heat.” Today Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q has become an Atlanta staple,
with favorites like the renowned Beef Brisket and the Smoked Wing Basket. Fox
Bros. Bar-B-Q has been featured on Good Day Atlanta, CBS Better Mornings, The
Weather Channel, TLC and Fox News. For more information and reservations please
call 404-577-4030 or visit www.foxbrosbbq.com.
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q is located at 1238 DeKalb Ave. Atlanta Ga. 30307. Connect

ABOUT Jim ‘N Nick’s Community
Bar-B-Q:
Jim ‘N Nick’s started cooking
pork “low and slow” in 1985 when Nick, along with his dad Jim, reclaimed an old
pizza parlour on Clairmont Avenue in Birmingham, AL where they opened the first
Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q. Thirty years later, with 34 restaurants in 7 states, Jim
‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q has become a Southern institution.
Jim 'N Nick's specializes in
Hickory Smoked BBQ and Southern Food in a made-from-scratch, fresh daily
kitchen. We are proud to say we don't have freezers. For us it's about
great food and technique rooted in tradition and hospitality that reflects our
care for our staff and our guests with friendly service and Southern
Hospitality. Local owners are taught the recipes and techniques, which they
then pass on to the cooks and pitmasters in each location. Jim ‘N Nick’s has
been supporting its local communities since 1985. Jim ‘N Nick’s Atlanta
is located at 4574 S Cobb Dr, Smyrna, GA 30082. Connect with us on

Field & Stream Coming to Atlanta Market
Field & Stream is coming to the Atlanta market in Kennesaw near Dick's Sporting Goods with connecting pathway, the stores together will be known as All American Sports Center
Read all about it below from
Field & Stream entering Atlanta market
Coraopolis, Pennsylvania-based Field & Stream
plans to open its first Atlanta area location next year in Kennesaw.
The new 42,728 square foot store will open in place of the former
JCPenney Home Store in Town Center Commons on Ernest Barrett Parkway.
Field & Stream will open adjacent to its larger corporate parent,
Dick's Sporting Goods, which occupies an 80,000 square foot space,
previously occupied by Galyan's, which was purchased by Dick's in 2004.
The
existing Dick's will be heavily renovated and will add a connecting
pathway between the two stores. Together, the stores will be known as "All-American Sports Center".
All-American Sports Center made its debut last summer at Mobile, Alabama's McGowin Park development.
A
Field & Stream representative indicated current plans are for the
new store to be open sometime between late spring and mid-summer next
year.
Field
& Stream was launched by Dick's in 2013 as a competitor to
Cabela's. Like Cabela's (which was purchased last month by another
rival, Bass Pro Shops), Field & Stream focuses on hunting, fishing,
camping, and related outdoor recreation merchandise. The first Field
& Stream opened on August 16, 2013 in Cranberry Township,
Pennsylvania, at the site of the former Dick's location in Cranberry
(Dick's had moved to a newer location nearby in Cranberry Township in
2012).
Cabela's
has a location about nine miles north on I-75 in Acworth. REI, which
is also a competitor of Field & Stream, has a location across
Barrett Parkway in the Barrett Pavilion shopping center.
