Collat Jewish Family Services to host Hands Up Together 2025
2025-04-29 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Grand Bohemian Mountain Brook
As a proud United Way of Central Alabama partner agency, Collat Jewish Family Services (CJFS) will host Hands Up Together 2025 this month honoring ten years of CARES: Caring for Adults through Respite, Enrichment, and Socialization. The CARES program offers an engaging social environment for people living with memory and movement disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, while offering a much-needed break, support and education for their family caregivers.
Hands Up Together is presented by Protective Life and will take place on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at The Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook. The event will celebrate and support the CJFS services that are a critical resource for older adults and their families as they navigate the journey of aging.
Since its launch in 2015, CJFS CARES has served families by providing structured, meaningful group activities in a warm, supportive environment. Designed to enhance quality of life and reduce isolation for participants, CARES has created a community filled with support, connection, and purpose. All while allowing caregivers time for self-care, work, or rest. Through its partnership with United Way of Central Alabama, CJFS CARES has provided over 64,000 hours of respite care and support, touching the lives of older adults and their families during some of their most vulnerable times.
“CJFS CARES is more than a program — it’s a lifeline for so many in our community,” says Pam Leonard, Senior Director of CJFS Programs. “We’re honored to celebrate this milestone with all those who have helped make it possible.”
To learn more about CJFS CARES, contact Pam Leonard, Senior Programs Director, at 205-278-7113.

Everything Is Great! A Town Hall for the People
2025-04-30 20:00 - 21:00 | Saturn, 200 41st Street S, Birmingham, AL, 35222, 2 41st Pl N, United States
Part Town Hall, Part improvised parody.
Real issues and questions are fielded by comedians playing the roles of absent elected officials in this improvised live game show version of a TOWN HALL!
Comedians have come together to take the reins of the absurdity of our current political moment and create a hilarious and cathartic town hall event.
Alabama native and internationally touring performer Matt Davis (MattDavisComedy.com) debuts a brand new show that addresses the current moment head on.
Designed in the vein of other Fringe Arts Festival shows Matt has produced, the format combines interactive elements and improvised lines with an almost game show-esque excitement to parody the spectacle and dismissiveness on display between elected officials and the people they seem loath to represent.
An expert cast of improvisers (some of the area’s best) are thrown in the game to represent the absent, empty chair, elected officials. Through a series of rounds the comedians lend their voice to the missing officials, and answer real questions and concerns posed by the audience. But! The comedians must toe-the-line that “everything is great” in all their responses. That is, if they wish to receive points from our host, Mr. Dark Money himself. The audience, however, is here to win, too! And they boo and jeer on queue, amid ridiculous answers, blatant sponsorships, redemption groveling, surprise guests, and other wild happenings.
All together it turns our town hall parody into a hilarious evening of improvised comedy, and real community catharsis! Grab your civic-minded friends, or those you think need to be inspired to get involved, and meet us April 30th at Saturn in Avondale for what we hope is the first of many wild and funny nights.
