About Us
Our Story
Founded in January 2016 by Michael Greenbaum (owner of Tower Beer, Wine & Spirits), the Tower Lights provide monthly community service opportunities for employees, customers and friends of Tower, in a partnership with United Way of Greater Atlanta. Its mission is to serve the under-served.
Whether it be planning an ice cream social for senior citizens, feeding the homeless at various shelters, painting and serving lunch to veterans or bowling with youth in foster care, the Tower Lights hope to make our community a little brighter, one volunteer event at a time. In five years the Tower Lights’ Annual Tower of Talent concert has raised more than $1.75 Million for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (and counting!).

Our Team
Michael Greenbaum
Founder of Tower Lights, Owner
Michael graduated from University of Oklahoma in 1969. Shortly after he opened an additional location of Tower Beer Wine Spirits. Throughout his life his own father, and previous owner of Tower, inspired him to continue the journey of giving back to the local Atlanta communities. Michael wanted to be able to help local communities, but knew that he would have a larger impact through a non-profit. In January of 2016 he founded Tower Lights. His priorities when deciding where to help out are: food, health & education.
