The junior board for Cornerstone Schools of Alabama hosted the annual Schoolhouse Rock fundraiser at Iron City Birmingham on March 10, bringing more than 1,000 guests to the venue. Music by the Billy Gant Band and DJ Mark Lindsey set the tone for the evening as guests enjoyed food, drinks, giveaways and both live and silent auctions. A VIP section provided guests with a separate bar and food area, along with gifts and signature cocktails. Proceeds from the event will benefit Cornerstone in its efforts to serve inner-city children in Birmingham. ❖

Married to their Work
Vicki and Robert Warner have always shared a passion for work, pursuing adventurous careers in education, design, and sales management. Though they’ve partnered in home sales for years, Robert recently decided to leave a corporate position to focus exclusively on their growing real estate business. “There’s momentum in home sales right now and positive things happening in Birmingham, so the time felt right,” says Robert. Having grown up on a farm, Robert’s interests gravitate to land development. “Seeing a piece of dirt evolve from an empty field into a thriving neighborhood never gets dull.”
