A more
frightfully fun event Oct. 18 was the 5th annual Birmingham Bone Bash. The event raised more than $30,000 to benefit the Arthritis Foundation’s work. Guests enjoyed the Wicked Wine Toss, Freaky Photo Booth and the Witches Brew and Bauble, with a diamond necklace given away courtesy of Bromberg’s. The Undergrounders were on hand with live music. Adding to the festivities were hors d’oeuvres by Kathy G and a special drink created just for the event. The Crazy Costume Contest ended the evening on a fun with the best male, female, photos at note group and couple awards given by Massage Envy. The event was presented by Iberiabank. This year’s event honored Kayla Kitchens, a Birmingham young adult with rheumatoid arthritis, for her passion and dedication to raising awareness of arthritis. Though having rheumatoid arthritis has changed Kayla’s life, she says it has empowered her to fight for a cause and to ultimately find a cure for the disease.
