Each year, the Rotaract Club of Birmingham celebrates its impact through the Annual Foundation Ball. This year, they joined forces with Alabama’s Bicentennial Committee as an officially registered Bicentennial Event! They partnered with the City of Birmingham and Mayor Woodfin’s team to help expand their celebration and share Rotaract’s impact within the community and beyond. All proceeds from the event go to sponsor Rotaract's three main signature service projects: Achieve Alabama, Ready2Succeed, and Ready2Read. The black-tie event was held at The Theodore and included VIP lounge for certain ticket members, live music, food and alcohol, raffles, prizes, and more.
