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.
