The event, organized by the Poze Bazaar Foundation in partnership with Belk at Riverchase Galleria, aimed to raise funds for college scholarships benefiting underserved youth. The theme, “The Connection between Mental Health and Creativity,” highlighted the positive impact of artistic expression on well-being.
Doug Parrish, Director of Sponsorships for the United Football League and the Birmingham Stallions, said the team “takes great pride in partnering with organizations that are making a real impact in the community—especially when it comes to style and fashion…”
In addition to the Stallions community partners included the Riverchase Galleria, BhamNow, Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel, Merk’s Tavern, and Prescott House Child Advocacy Center.
