Event Spotlight
Thank You Danie B and V-103!
Social Butterflies Foundation is humble and grateful for the outpouring support and love from Danie B and our V-103 family. On Saturday August 3rd the V-103 family came together to welcome Danie B back to the ATL with the Summer Skool Volume 1 Day Party! Attendees played games, like spades, uno, and connect four; ate some great food, enjoyed signature Usher-themed Remy cocktails, won prizes, and raised almost $4,500 for the Social Butterflies Foundation to support our programs and services for lupus and fibromyalgia survivors.
