Can-A-Thon 2006
The Primrose Schools in Atlanta Georgia participated in the 11 Alive Can-A-Thon. There was a great turn out of Primrose Buses, and an even bigger donation of cans for the Salvation Army. Primrose Students all over Atlanta worked very hard to raise the money and buy the canned goods for this donation. This is part of the Character Development program that is taught in Primrose Schools.

The 24th Annual 11Alive Holiday Can-A-Thon took place Friday.
For over 20 years, the 11Alive Holiday Can-A-Thon has been the largest televised food drive in Georgia.
The tons of food collected during this holiday event support needy families through the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army says this year's Can-A-Thon came in the nick of time. The 174,000 cans collected last year were long gone.
"For about two months we've been running on empty, so we've been looking forward to this canned food drive. It's an important part of the community," said the Salvation Army's Captain Bobby Westmoreland.
Schools, businesses, civic groups, and individuals took part in the event to help fight hunger by donating canned goods.
Starting at 5:00 a.m. 11Alive News personalities stationed at three collection points, across the Metro Atlanta area and Rome, accepted your generous donations.
