Grove Park Heroes event to honor Pinky Cole Hayes
The Grove Park Foundation will hold its second annual signature awards event on Thursday, March 28, at 6 p.m. at the Delta SKY360 Lounge at the Mercedes Benz Stadium.
The Grove Park Heroes event will honor Pinky Cole Hayes as the recipient of the 2024 Icon Award. Hayes, the founder and driving force behind Slutty Vegan, a plant-based restaurant chain in Atlanta, serves as a beacon for aspiring entrepreneurs. She was recognized on the “Time 100 Next List” for individuals with an outsized influence on American culture thanks to her philanthropy and impact on women’s and minority entrepreneurship.
“The Grove Park Heroes Awards is a cherished event dedicated to honoring outstanding leaders within our resilient and historic community,” said Gavin McGuire, executive director of the Grove Park Foundation.
McGuire went on to say the event will celebrate the vital role Grove Park plays in the growth, development, and legacy of the City of Atlanta. It also will recognize remarkable contributions in business, education, community development, and service by expressing gratitude to the “exceptional contributors and catalysts” shaping our community’s future.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the Grove Park Foundation with the Icon Award,” Hayes said in a release. “Philanthropy and giving back to my community are a part of my DNA, and supporting and encouraging entrepreneurs is my passion. I am so fortunate to have the chance to help people from all walks of life and inspire them to tap into their full potential.”
