UWYLS created Cooking for a Cause to focus on the issue of childhood obesity and to raise awareness and funding for Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities, a health initiative of United Way of Central Alabama. Cooking for a Cause is an invitation for our community to come see how delicious, practical and wonderful healthy food can be.

Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities is a collaborative effort to fight childhood obesity in Jefferson County. By changing policies and creating healthier environments, we are working with a host of partners to improve nutrition and physical activity for children and their families. Jefferson County is one of 50 communities around the country that was awarded funding to advance this important effort and the funding from Cooking for a Cause will help enhance this important work.

Tell your Family…Tell your Friends
Off the Wall is BACK
and BETTER than Ever!!
Enjoy great music and wonderful hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer and soft drinks
while you pick out the photograph or bottle of “liquid art”
you want to take home with you!

Here’s how the game is played:
1. Each ticket holder will draw a number
2. The person with #1 gets first choice of all the art…
#1 is the best number!
3. Everyone else will put their numbers on their favorite pieces
and hope that somebody with a lower number doesn’t “bump” them.
4. If you are “bumped”, you’ll move your number
to your next favorites until all the numbers
are matched with your winning art!

Proceeds Benefit Children and Families in Crisis.
