BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In celebration of its 30th anniversary, The Firehouse Shelter is hosting its Sixth Annual 5 Alarm Gala, Thursday, November 7 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at B&A Warehouse. Individual tickets are $50. Corporate sponsorships also are available, and all donations are tax deductible.
Jeh Jeh Pruitt, Fox 6 Sports Broadcaster, will emcee the event, which also will include music by Les Moore and the In-Betweens; a live auction featuring auctioneer Bob Straka, a raffle featuring over 50 holiday gift baskets; and B&A’s gourmet hors d’oeuvres, buffet and drinks.
Executive Director Anne Wright says: “Our annual fundraiser allows us to underwrite many of our homeless services such as transitional and permanent housing, a Safe Haven for men with serious mental illnesses and our street outreach program. This event not only raises much-needed funds, but also it brings our staff, volunteers and board members together, reminding us of the homeless needs in our community.”
The Firehouse Shelter has provided homeless men in the Birmingham area a nurturing and caring environment while empowering each individual to reach his full potential since it first opened its doors on December 23, 1983.
