What to Expect for 2023:

This year marks our 13th Annual “Angels of Life” Hair & Fashion Show so you know we are going all out! Not only is it our FAVORITE year we hope hit a MILLION dollars in donations this year with your help! Our event supports the Georgia Transplant Foundation. An organization that assists individuals before and after an organ transplant. Three-13’s managing partner Lester, a two-time heart transplant recipient, founded this event in 2011 after his second heart transplant. The event draws over 700 guests and has contributed $850,313 in just 12 years to support GTF. Our event starts with five Bake Sales which will run every other Saturday leading to our event. Our Bake Sales raise over 25k in donations each year and feature both sweet and savory snacks, as well as arts and crafts prepared by all of your favorite Three-13 employees.

Angels of Life…those who give life to others. Join us to celebrate the gift of life and those Angels who have made it possible. During our event you will hear real life testimonies from transplant recipients and donor families who share their heartwarming journey and how GTF came to their aid during a time of need. The evening highlights a 200+ items live and silent auction with everything from dining experiences, jewelry, art, home décor, exotic trips to our annual Yamaha Wave Runner! Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, dancing, live entertainment, music and the gift of life inspiring Hair and Fashion show designed by Three-13’s Artistic Team.

Who is The Georgia Transplant Foundation?

Almost ONE MILLION donated:
The Georgia Transplant Foundation’s (GTF) work never stops, people never stop having the need for organ transplants so neither will our fundraising! In twelve short years, Angels of Life has donated over $850k to the Georgia Transplant Foundation through the efforts of Three-13’s in-salon Bakes Sales, selling $5 Angels in-salon, and of course the event which is supported by local business and organizations through sponsorship. The Georgia Transplant Foundation is focused on providing both financial, educational, and back to work assistance during a time that is often overwhelming for those children and adults waiting or undergoing a transplant. GTF is dedicated to improve the quality of life for those affected by transplantation. We hope you will join our Angels Team by sponsoring.

What is our Inspiration?
Lester E. Crowell Jr., our Managing Partner and two-time heart transplant recipient fought his entire life living with IHSS (Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) and at the age of 43, he received his first heart transplant when his native heart could no longer fight. Following his first transplant, Lester was living healthy and well, feeling better than ever before. However, after nine-years the transplanted heart developed chronic rejection, similar to coronary artery disease, a common threat to all transplanted organs… He was put on the transplant list again, living with a new daily fear of suffering a possible massive heart attack. On December 3, 2010 Lester received the life changing call that a new heart was found and was waiting for him. After a successful second transplant, Lester woke up inspired and full of gratitude… this is when Angels of Life was born. His passion to help others in the transplant community has become a life mission.
