Rita Garrett, Office Manager of Kutak Rock’s Atlanta Office, received the Cool Girls, Inc. 2014 Alice Hadley Volunteer of the Year Award at its annual Hot Pink Party on April 26. This signature “Cool Girls Become Cool Women” fundraiser helps Cool Girls expand its programs to continue helping girls in low-income Atlanta communities.

The Alice Hadley award was given to Garrett because of her devotion and support to Cool Girls and its mission to self-empower girls. She plays a significant role as a “Cool Sister” to a third-grade student at McNair Discovery Learning Academy.

Cool Girls is dedicated to empowering young women by pairing them with mentors and volunteers who aid in their development. These mentors, volunteers and community partners help fight poverty, low self-esteem and teen pregnancy and work to develop their mentees into confident women.
