Savannah Smiles Announces Ribbon Cutting & Kickoff to Monthly Non Profit Campaign

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Friday, August 9th, 2024

Savannah Smiles, Savannah’s premier entertainment venue featuring dueling pianos, will host a ribbon cutting and kickoff to their monthly non-profit campaign with a check presentation to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire. The VIP Reception and ribbon cutting will be held from 4:30-5:30pm with an open house reception from 5:30-7pm on Thursday, August 15th at 314 Williamson Street, Savannah GA 31401.

“When I moved to Savannah 20 years ago, I opened a cleaning company and my first client was Craig Cunningham and Marty Richardson at Savannah Smiles. I personally cleaned this 10,000 square foot property and became good friends with the owners. When they got ready to retire, it was a perfect time for me and my business partner, Buddy Grayson, to buy Savannah’s premier entertainment venue and the number one dueling piano bar in America,” shares Savannah Smiles President Greg Lard.

“Smiles has been proudly supporting the mission of the Ronald McDonald House for over a decade. Buddy and I also have a strong bond with the RMHC and will continue that legacy by kicking off a monthly event on Thursdays to support local nonprofits. 100% of the ticket sales for entry from that evening will be donated to the nonprofit of the month,” adds Lard.

Welcoming community partners Best Western Savannah, Kaufman-Heinz and the Performance Food Group, Savannah Smiles will feature gourmet creations from Erica Davis Catering, an open bar sponsored by local distributors and live entertainment from Savannah Smile’s talented piano players.
