Armstrong Atlantic State University will host a "city-wide celebration of Pirate pride" in Johnson Square, with The Savannah Bank serving as the presenting sponsor.

Armstrong alumni, students, faculty, staff and supporters will gather to celebrate the university’s 2013-2014 fundraising successes and "to underscore how critical Armstrong is in our community," a spokesperson says.

The event Thursday at noon in Johnson Square is free and open to the public and will feature food, prizes and more.
