Drake House Fundraiser

KISS 104.1 FM Sasha the Diva Radio Personality to Emcee Annual Fundraiser for The Drake House

KIAA 104's Sasha the Diva will Emcee  the 8th Annual Miss Mary's Ice Cream Crankin'. You can hear Sasha on The Tom Joyner Morning Show with her featured called I'm Just Sayin' along with doing her show on KISS 104 Saturday afternoons. 

This community event brings together local civic, faith and business groups for an old fashioned ice cream social, offering over 140 flavors of home-made ice-cream and celebrity judges to rate the best flavors. The family event is being held in the Roswell Square on Sunday, August 26th from 2 to 4 PM. Each year, attendance and proceeds increase, with this year's attendance expected to exceed 3,200 with a financial goal of $50,000. "We are very excited that Sasha has committed to act as our Mistress of Ceremonies this year", states Executive Director, Kathy Swahn. "She will bring a real vitality to the event along with a passion for our organization and the work that we do to assist homeless mothers in the North Fulton region".

The Drake House offers short-term crisis housing, support, education and empowerment programs to single mothers and their minor children. The non-profit was founded in 2004 to fill an unmet need in the area. Having opened their doors in June of 2006, The Drake House has served 233 families with over 400 children that have originated from Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Milton. Despite the presumed affluence of the area, The Drake House stays close to or at capacity all year long in their 16-unit apartment complex.

"I had an immediate connection with this organization", says Sasha. "I was part of a group home program as a teenager and can certainly appreciate the great work that is being done to keep families together. The Drake House works every day to empower these mothers, and build on skills so that they can regain their financial independence. I am thrilled to be a part of this event!".  The organization depends on financial and volunteer support from the community to sustain their very successful program and the Ice Cream Crankin' offers a much-needed revenue stream. For information on sponsorship, ticket sales or to be involved as a "Crankin' Team", please see their event website at www.missmarysicecream.org  or call 770.587.4712.
