By: Gwen DeRu
With the dedication and support of Waldrep Stewart & Kendrick, LLC (WSK) the Annual Magic City Classic Breakfast continues Friday, 7 a.m. at the Harbert Center. William Bell, the Mayor of Birmingham Ala. is the speaker.
Attorney Kelvin Howard and Attorney Charlie Waldrep, Senior Partner of WSK are proud to host this Magic City Classic breakfast for the second year, which in years past was sponsored by the Birmingham Business Alliance.
“The breakfast is important because it really recognizes scholarship. While we enjoy the game and the 100 or so athletes on the field, the parade, the parties, the bands and the renewal of friendships, it is the Breakfast that provides a venue that brings together our community to celebrate the scholarship of the students at these great Universities,” said Attorney Charlie Waldrep.”
Each year, the City of Birmingham welcomes current students, faculty, and alumni of two (2) historically renowned Black universities, Alabama State University and Alabama A&M University, and hosts what has become one of the largest, most anticipated yearly events within the City, The Magic City Classic. WSK is sponsoring and continuing this “kick-off” breakfast, as it has become a part of the “Magic City” tradition! It is indeed a rich and valuable part of the Birmingham community, and Waldrep Stewart & Kendrick, LLC’s commitment to support our City!
