Support the Bunny Bash and Color Dash Event

Founded in 1974 by a dedicated group of parents, the Arc of Shelby County began as an advocacy organization aimed at supporting families of children with intellectual disabilities. Over the years, it has evolved from a small support group into a vital advocacy agency, directly assisting over 1,500 children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families each year. The organization has expanded its services to include an early intervention program for children with developmental delays and a supported employment program for adults with disabilities, significantly enhancing the lives of individuals and strengthening our community.

For over a century, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Alabama have been a cornerstone of support for youth in our community. With more than 120 years of experience in youth development, their dedicated team empowers every child and teenager who joins their programs. Their mission is to affirm the worth and potential of every young person, welcoming over 750 youth aged 6 to 18 into their Clubhouses after school and serving over 1,000 youth daily during the summer. Through meaningful relationships and a commitment to providing a high-quality Club Experience, they create safe spaces for kids to learn, grow, and thrive. The Boys and Girls Club guides all members toward high school graduation and equips them with the skills and plans for a successful future, instilling values of good character and citizenship along the way.
