SUMMARY:Swag the Bag 2025
DESCRIPTION:Get ready\, Central Alabama — Swag The Bag is back for its 6th year\, and this will be our most dazzling\, inspiring\, and unforgettable event yet! \nHeld each November during Homeless Youth Awareness Month\, Swag The Bag isn’t just a fundraiser — it’s a movement. Did you know that over 60% of older foster youth become homeless the moment they leave care? Within just two years\, 1 in 4 will be without a safe place to live. We can change this. And you can be part of the solution. \nThis year’s celebration takes place at the stunning Shelby County Arts Center in Columbiana\, AL on Friday\, November 14\, 2025. You’ll experience: \nThe magic of Brian Reeves – Birmingham’s 5-time award-winning magician\, returning to wow the crowd during the premier VIP Experience.\n-Live performances from American Idol’s Isaiah Moore and Nashville recording artist Brittany Moore.\n-A delicious dinner from Tasteful Touch Catering.\n-Our highly anticipated Silent Auction – bid online or in person on fabulous finds.\n-The one-of-a-kind Trash Bag Art & Fashion Show\, judged by a panel of celebrity judges. \nWhy Trash Bags?\nFor far too many foster youth\, a trash bag has been their “suitcase.” It sends the devastating message that they — and their lives — are disposable. Swag The Bag flips the script\, transforming that symbol into something fun\, fabulous\, and full of hope. \nEvery ticket\, sponsorship or donation helps provide housing\, mentorship\, and a future for youth aging out of foster care. So come laugh\, cheer\, bid\, and be inspired — all while changing lives. \nTickets are on sale now! Secure your seat for the most unique\, creative\, and heartfelt event of the season.
