“We’re thrilled to welcome UAB Medicine as the presenting sponsor for GT World Alabama,” said George Dennis, president of Zoom Motorsports. “As one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers, UAB is a vital part of the Birmingham community. Their support, alongside the impact of Teal Wings of Hope, brings an even deeper purpose to a weekend that already offers world-class racing and family-friendly entertainment.” 

“Teal Wings of Hope was founded in memory of my wife, Babs, with the goal of improving ovarian cancer care so that future generations of women won’t have to endure what she did,” said Bob Barrett, chairman emeritus of Teal Wings of Hope. “This partnership with UAB is incredibly meaningful. And with September being Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, the timing couldn’t be more fitting. We’re truly excited and look forward to working with everyone involved.” 

“I’m extremely grateful and excited about this endeavor. Our work with the community is what drives us to do what we do,” said Warner Huh, M.D., chair of the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “The most important thing for me is making sure that we provide access and high-quality care to all individuals in the state of Alabama who are seeking really top-notch world-class care and gynecological oncology.”
