There's a certain kind of restaurant that feeds far more than appetite. It pulls a whole neighborhood in, sets a longer table and turns an ordinary dinner into community. These are the places that show up for their people, and for a good cause. This is the spirit behind Marsh McLennan Agency's Cocktails and Cornhole, where good food and friendly competition rally around the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. For more than 30 years, PBTF’s primary mission has been to fund medical research toward eradicating brain cancer in children. Also, the group works nationwide to provide family support services, including educational resources and peer-to-peer mentoring.
The MMA Southeast Cocktails & Cornhole event is October 20, 2026. Spectators are invited to watch the fun and learn about PBTF. The event is from 3 pm to 6 pm at City Springs, Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center.
Meet the two participating restaurants that embody a true sense of community and generosity
Marlow's Tavern
Marlow's Tavern is an upscale, polished-casual restaurant featuring the "Best of the Best" in American tavern fare served in a modern atmosphere. The menu offers a diverse combination of classic dishes — updated and elevated — alongside amazing handcrafted cocktails. With a warm, neighborhood-yet-contemporary feel, Marlow's is the perfect gathering place and a natural complement to its modern-tavern menu. It's the kind of room where a community comes together, which is exactly what a night like this calls for.
The Butcher & Bottle
The Butcher & Bottle is a chef-led, Southern-inspired restaurant built around a simple belief: exceptional food, genuine hospitality and a great dining experience should be something guests enjoy regularly — not reserved only for special occasions. The menu is rooted in great steaks, fresh seafood and thoughtfully prepared Southern dishes, paired with craft cocktails and a carefully selected wine program, all delivered with intentional hospitality. That same generosity of spirit is what makes them a fitting partner in giving back.
Together, they remind us that the best meals nourish a neighborhood — and that when we gather with purpose, everyone leaves fuller.
