It was no small-time event. The Jack Hanna Gala Benefit fundraiser at the Georgia Aquarium Jan. 18 for Georgia’s only wildlife veterinary hospital and research center, to be located in Chattahoochee Hill Country, featured many of Hanna’s animals and emerging country music star Jason Coley. The fundraiser was sponsored by Minerva Properties, WSB-TV and Star 94 FM.
