Service Guild to host gala

The Service Guild of Birmingham will host its largest fundraiser of the year, the 28th annual Guild Gala, at The Club in Birmingham on March 19, at 6 p.m.

 Proceeds from the black-tie event will benefit The Bell Center for Early Intervention Programs, a facility dedicated to maximizing the potential of children from birth to three years old who are at risk for developmental delay. The Guild provides financial support to Bell Center programs, as well as volunteer services.

 The Gala is a “wonderful event for people to make a difference in the lives of children of The Bell Center while connecting with others and making lifelong friendships,” Guild spokesperson Amber Kelley said.

 This year’s Gala will include a cocktail reception with silent auction, a formal seated dinner and a live auction emceed by the guys from the Jox Roundtable at WJOX-FM sports talk radio in Birmingham. Following the live auction, there will be dancing and live music from The Tip Tops.

 For more than 30 years, The Bell Center has provided critical early intervention services, including physical, occupational and speech therapies; special education services; and nutritional counseling to children in central Alabama at risk for developmental delay.

 The Club is located at 1 Robert S. Smith Drive.

The Gala is by invitation only. To make a donation, contact Blair Crabtree at serviceguildgala@gmail.com.
