And boy do they have ‘em lined up in July!

On Thursday, May 30, 2013, Proffitt PR held its 6th Girls’ Night Out (GNO) event, GNO Does 30A at Pandora’s of Grayton Beach.
Beginning strictly as a holiday party for local women of the area just one year ago, GNO soon culminated into a signature charity event held at venues including Harbor Docks, Marlin Grill, Tuscany Italian Bistro, and The Solaris. GNO quickly garnered a loyal following of 300+ ladies. With such significant growth of the event, Proffitt PR began to incorporate a different beneficiary for each event in order to give back to the community.
