Southface is pleased to announce Cox Enterprises as the presenting sponsor for its upcoming Visionary Dinner on September 19 at the Georgia Aquarium. Previously a patron sponsor, Cox has raised its commitment of support, and will be providing the emcee for the event. For the third year in a row, Mohawk Group is the event's title sponsor.

"We have been thrilled to work with Cox Enterprises and Cox Conserves to create this new sponsorship opportunity," said Southface President, Andrea Pinabell. "Giving back is fundamental to the Cox organization, and this effort further demonstrates the qualities for which Cox was previously recognized as a winner of the Southface Argon Award for leadership in sustainability."

Cox received the Argon Award in 2015. Cox Enterprises' support of the Visionary Dinner is part of the company's national Cox Conserves sustainability program that is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Through Cox Conserves, the company has saved 57 million gallons of water through conservation, offset 82,000 tons of carbon and diverted 97,000 tons of waste.

The Visionary Dinner raises awareness and funding for Southface's continued work in high-performance affordable housing, green infrastructure, clean energy, healthy buildings and sustainable communities. The evening brings together more than 400 policy makers, industry leaders, development and construction professionals, interested community citizens and stakeholders to network and celebrate environmental leadership in the region. This year, the Visionary Dinner will include a provocative conversation on the changing landscape for collaboration among cities to create healthy and resilient communities through the eyes of national leaders in philanthropy.

The evening highlight is the presentation of the prestigious Argon Award to celebrate sustainability in action. Mohawk Group is the returning Visionary Dinner title sponsor. Mohawk is leading the floor covering industry in product transparency.
