Chattahoochee Food Works — Host Venue Outreach

Purpose: First-touch hosting pitch for Chattahoochee Food Works (target H8 in registry/leads/targets.md). The ask: host a Sun & Moonlight game night as a community fundraiser. McCray's is the template — lead with the concrete event, not a generic intro.

The event offer in brief:

H8 — Chattahoochee Food Works

Contact: 1235 Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 (Makers Building, at The Works — Upper Westside). Events: events@chattahoocheemrkt.com · PR/social/management: info@chattahoocheemrkt.com · IG @chattahoocheefoodworks · FB facebook.com/chattahoocheefoodworks. Website: chattahoocheefoodworks.com.

⚠️ VERIFIED 2026-09-13 — targets.md corrections/enrichment:

Channel recommendation: Email events@chattahoocheemrkt.com first — it's a published events inbox and the ask is a hosting/events conversation, not a social-scrape. Instagram DM @chattahoocheefoodworks as the parallel/follow-up channel (they're active there). Don't cold-DM the vendor-leasing path.

Why this one: This is a commercial food hall, so the pitch is event-programming, not mission and not a room rental. Two angles make the ask land: (1) the hall already runs recurring public programming (Atlanta F.A.M., Industry Night) — a game night slots into an existing calendar rather than asking them to start something new; and (2) the 31-vendor structure means a 30–50 person game night fills the communal indoor/outdoor bar and feeds the stalls on an otherwise soft evening. The "cause the host names" piece gives them a community angle to attach their own name to.

Option A: Instagram DM (~85 words)

Hey Chattahoochee Food Works — I run a community game night called Sun & Moonlight. Candlelit, 20–40 people, $20–30 entry, proceeds go to whatever cause the host picks. I bring the games, the candles, and someone shooting reels.

>

Y'all already run nights like Atlanta F.A.M., so this feels like it'd slide right into the calendar. A full room in the communal space, 31 vendors to feed them, and the cause is yours to name.

Option B: Email (~110 words)

Subject: A game-night fundraiser at Chattahoochee Food Works — worth a conversation?

Hey —

>

I run a community game night called Sun & Moonlight. Candlelit, 20–40 people, $20–30 entry, and the proceeds go to whatever cause the host names. I bring the game system, the candles, and someone to shoot reels.

>

I keep thinking about your communal indoor/outdoor bar and that outdoor seating. You already run public nights like Atlanta F.A.M., so this is the same shape — a game night that puts 30–50 people in the hall on a slower evening, eating from the stalls and staying a while.

Would someone on the events team be open to a quick call to see if a date works?

~110 words. Route through events@chattahoocheemrkt.com — their published hosting inbox, not the leasing or general info address. The Atlanta F.A.M. and 31-vendor references are their own site, not our framing.

Before sending

1. Find a name if possible. The site publishes no named events manager (just a "Management Team" for PR/social). If Brandyn can pull a name from LinkedIn ("Events Manager," "General Manager — Chattahoochee Food Works") or a network touch, address them by name. A named opener beats "Hey —".

2. Confirm the channel. events@chattahoocheemrkt.com is verified as the hosting/events inbox. IG @chattahoocheefoodworks is the parallel channel. Don't send to leasing@ or info@.

3. Keep it distinct from Wild Heaven (D1) and Monday Night (H4). Those are taproom pitches in the Lee+White complex. This is a food hall across town in Upper Westside — the anchor is the 31-vendor hall + existing recurring programming, not a taproom or a booking form. And distinct from Eyedrum (H7): that's a nonprofit arts register; this is commercial event-programming.

4. The Atlanta F.A.M. anchor is evergreen (weekly Thursday, Fashion/Art/Music) — no time-box concern like the Eyedrum board-games anchor. Industry Night (Mondays) is the backup anchor if Brandyn prefers.

5. Word counts: IG DM ~85 words, email ~110 words. Both under the template caps.
