Three Piece Suit Football is the brainchild of Cameron Miller and Joff Braio, two friends who came up with the idea one night over beers and, well, football! The game is held every year at the 4th Ward Skate Park in Midtown Atlanta the weekend before the Super Bowl. Guys and gals turn out in some of the most outlandish three-piece suit “uniforms” you’ve ever seen to entertain the fans who show up to cheer their favorite team to victory. There’s even a Dog Disc competition at halftime!

In 2014, the Atlanta Chivers raised more money for Pets For Vets Atlanta, GA than any other group or business! Dozens of people came out to relive the glory days of Madonna and shoulder pads at the Chivers’ 80s Prom Party at Twin Peaks in Buckhead. Partygoers danced the night away to 80s songs and had a blast taking “prom” photos. Twin Peaks (who donated the event space) got into the spirit by showing old TV clips and the Pets for Vets logo on the TVs around the bar.

The following businesses and groups raised $2,000 or more at their events to sponsor a Pets for Vets companion dog for an Atlanta Veteran! Congratulations and thank you for all you do for the pets and Veterans!
