Atlanta, Ga. June 10, 2010 – Grady Hospital Emergency Technicians (EMTs), Atlanta Police and Atlanta Fire and Rescue will face off June 14 at the Hard Rock Café Atlanta’s annual Guns n’ Hoses burger eating contest. The contest will take place at 2 p.m. at Hard Rock Café, 215 Peachtree Street, NE, Atlanta, GA, 30303.

Burger-eaters can also take part in a raffle of Hard Rock merchandise that will benefit the Grady Health Foundation and the Gold Shield Foundation, a non-profit which assists surviving spouses and children of law enforcement and firefighters who are killed or incapacitated in the line of duty.

“Hard Rock Café’s commitment to the families of emergency personnel is unmatched here and now they are taking their generosity to the next level by supporting the work of Grady Hospital and our ability to provide trauma care,” said Lisa Borders, president of the Grady Health Foundation.

The event is open to the public and media. The restaurant will offer 71 cent burgers for police, firefighters and EMTs. The Grady Health Foundation ALL GOOD Ambulance will be on-site, providing information about Grady Health System services. The new tricked out ambulance has a DJ who will be spinning records and providing interactive games.

“I encourage everyone to come out and support Grady EMTs in the contest, enter the raffle, check out the ALL GOOD Ambulance and participate in the summertime festivities,” said Borders.
