SUMMARY:BUZZ Live! in Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:Join our free BUZZ Live! talk show on May 8\, 6:00 pm Central\, at Red Mountain Theatre Arts Campus! The event will include hors d’oeuvres\, cash bar\, and an opportunity for the greater Birmingham community to meet and greet the stars in the four new episodes of our television show BUZZ: Christian Service Mission\, Holy Family Cristo Rey\, Sav-A-Life\, and Down Syndrome of Alabama. \nDuring our one-hour show – which will be live-streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels – we’ll talk with the leaders of these Birmingham\, Alabama nonprofits\, and share clips from our upcoming BUZZ episodes that highlight their inspiring missions. These four episodes air Fridays in May (starting May 9) at 8:30 pm Central on Alabama Public Television. Doors open at 5:30 pm. \nFunding for our production comes from the Mike & Gillian Goodrich Foundation and Hoar Construction. \nAbout BUZZ in Birmingham: \nLaunched in 2020\, BUZZ airs on public television in Virginia – and on YouTube – and features the great work that nonprofits do in our communities\, and the marketing pros who donate their time and talent to help these life-giving organizations attract more donors\, volunteers and clients to their cause. A native of Birmingham\, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill brought his show to his hometown in 2023. Follow us on Facebook\, Instagram\, LinkedIn\, YouTube. \nAlabama Public Television broadcast schedule: \nMay 9\, 8:30 pm – Christian Service Mission\nBirmingham native Michael Hemphill is back in his hometown highlighting and helping nonprofits on BUZZ! In this episode\, BUZZ focuses not only on the people served by Christian Service Mission\, but its volunteers who do the serving. Such as Dickey Atchison … best known as Bo Jackson’s high school football coach\, who suffered a deep depression after the untimely death of his wife of 49 years. He found healing through his volunteer work building homes for people in need through Christian Service Mission. \nMay 16\, 8:30 pm – Holy Family Cristo Rey\nAlgebra\, social studies\, English … Information Technology at HOAR Construction? Human Resources at Blue Cross Blue Shield? Such corporate work study programs are part of the school day at Holy Family Cristo Rey. Founded more than 50 years as a Catholic school for the Ensley community\, Holy Family adopted the “Cristo Rey” model in 2007 to better serve low-income\, underserved families in Birmingham. Students today graduate with more than a diploma\, but a resume of real-world work experience and invaluable business skills. \nMay 23\, 8:30 pm – Sav-A-Life\nWhat about what to expect when you’re not expecting? That’s the life-changing reality confronting countless women each year who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant … and afraid. In a country that increasingly considers itself prolife\, but offers increasingly fewer services once that life is born\, women have only weeks at most to decide what to do about their pregnancy. The nonprofit Sav-A-Life provides wrap-around services so that the clients who walk through their doors make life-affirming choices for themselves and their unborn children. \nMay 30\, 8:30 pm – Down Syndrome of Alabama\nAbout one in 700 children are born with Down syndrome. That’s 85 births each year in Alabama. The future for them\, and their caregivers\, is fraught with a variety of worries and stress. Through Advocacy\, Connections and Education\, the nonprofit Down Syndrome of Alabama envisions a state where individuals with Down syndrome are accepted and included for who they are. DSA provides hope and support to each person and their families with educational resources and networking opportunities throughout all stages of life.
