Family Promise of Birmingham raised books and cash during its Bound and Determined fundraiser, held July 28 at Rosewood Hall. The annual event supports the organization’s efforts to provide shelter, meals and other forms of support to homeless children and families in the greater Birmingham area. Board member Edie Steiniger chaired the event’s auction committee, offering guests the opportunity to bid on beach and mountain getaways, jewelry and more in silent and live auctions. Other activities included basket raffles and a popular photo booth. In addition, book donations were accepted and will be divided among the children and adolescents involved with the program. The event was hosted by Family Promise board of directors Don Acton, Shawn Barnes, Tyler Busby, Terry Chapman, Joe Dean, Neil Eggers, Richard Goldstein, Kent Hartzog, Tom Lamkin, Kenneth Moore, Carlos Otalora, Michelle Paradiso, Rebecca Richardson, Kate Short, Drew Smith, Brenda Tidwell and Danny Whitsett. ❖
