The Junior League of Birmingham’s (JLB) annual Shop Save & Share fundraiser took place Wednesday, Oct. 14 through Sunday, Oct. 25. The 12-day event provided shoppers with up to 20 percent off and/or exclusive offers at over 300 participating businesses with the purchase of a Shop Save & Share card.
