Currently a new health report reveals one third of Alabama’s children are overweight or obese.
This fact is just one reason why The Young Professionals Board of the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Minority Health and Health disparities Research Center (MHRC) is raising money for the center's Healthy Happy Kids Nutrition and Physical Activity program.

On Friday June 5th, the MHRC will host Casino Royale at Birmingham’s WorkPlay.

The event, at WorkPlay in Birmingham, is open to the public and tickets start at $50. From 6 to 7 p.m. there will be a “high rollers” sponsors reception and the casino opens at 7 p.m. There will be a cash bar, celebrity dealers ; comedians Steve Brown, Roy Wood Jr., and Tha Berry Boys and live entertainment featuring Just a Few Cats and great door prizes.
For tickets, call 205-975-5659 or email samika@uab.edu or log on to www.uabmhrc.com/casinoroyale.
