Shannon Mall benefit event ongoing

Shoppers visiting Shannon Mall for the latest fashion trends for spring can also purchase a $5 ticket for a chance to win a child-size playhouse.

This quaint kid's cottage, on display at the mall's Center Court, comes complete with a front porch, functional screened windows with flower boxes, a loft on the inside and a lighting package ... the perfect place to play pretend. Adults may enter through a side door to be a part of the fun.

Tickets are available at the Mall's Customer Service Center at Center Court and the winning ticket will be drawn May 1. Delivery of the house is also included.

All proceeds from the sale of the tickets will benefit the Children's Miracle Network/Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

"Shannon Mall is very community-minded and is excited about the opportunity to help our most prized possessions our children," said Group Marketing Manager Chris Glenn Olateru. "We are also excited to announce our partners who made this promotion possible: Colony Homes, Castles for Kids and S&S Greenhouses."

This is the second year of a multi-year partnership between the Children's Miracle Network and General Growth Properties, Inc. Shannon Mall will sponsor events and promotions throughout the year to support this cause.

Shannon Mall is owned by Cadillac Fairview and managed by General Growth Properties, Inc., one of the nation's largest shopping center owners, managers and developers. General Growth currently has ownership interests in, or management responsibilities for, a portfolio of 163 regional shopping malls in 41 states. The company portfolio totals more than 140 million square feet of retail space and includes over 15,000 retailers nationwide.
