Approximately 500 people gathered for “Skyline—Where History and Style Meet,” an event hosted by the Young Professionals of Birmingham on the top floor of the City Federal Building. The event, which was held Thurs., Aug. 7, benefited Magic Moments, a non-profit organization that assists in the mentoring of Birmingham’s children. The event had the largest turnout of any other YP event and featured music by VASA, catering by B&A Warehouse and beer tasting by Free the Hops.
“We are extremely grateful for the generosity extended to Magic Moments from YP and guests of this event,” said Doug Gillett, president of the junior board of Magic Moments.
