The Exceptional Foundation participants perform as a part of last year’s Dinnertainment event.
The Exceptional Foundation participants will show off their talents at the upcoming Dinnertainment fundraiser. The event began last year as a way to give dinner party attendees an understanding of what happens at the center on Oxmoor Road every day. This year it is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 11 at The Country Club of Birmingham.
The foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides social and recreational activities for people with mental and physical needs.
“I think that everybody, after they’ve been there, will know that The Exceptional Foundation is a fun, happy place because of what comes from the participants’ hearts and from their talents,” said Carmine Jordan, secretary of The Exceptional Foundation Board of Directors. “When they are there that night and doing a performance for a room full of people ... they shine and you just see the joy in their hearts.”
Without these sorts of fundraisers, The Exceptional Foundation would only be able to serve a third of the people it does now, according to Jordan.
Tickets are $150 and include a cocktail hour and a seated dinner provided by The Country Club of Birmingham. Proceeds from the event will help fund the foundation’s work.
