Bobby Humphrey Luncheon Benefits Firehouse Shelter Bobby Humphrey, former University of Alabama and NFL star, talked about overcoming obstacles at a March luncheon at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Homewood. The event raised nearly $1,500. All proceeds will benefit the Firehouse Shelter’s Safe Haven program, which serves 24 homeless men, each of whom has a diagnosed serious mental illness. Humphrey’s message encouraged listeners to look for opportunities to do what the Firehouse Shelter does every day: lift up others and encourage the broken, the hurting and the lost. Michael Daniel and Cleo Mallory gave testimonies about how the Safe Haven program has transformed their lives. The barbecue luncheon, catered by Joe Maluff of Full Moon Bar-B-Que, was sponsored by the Lettermen of the Iron Bowl. This new nonprofit organization has partnered with the Firehouse Shelter to positively impact the homeless in Birmingham. Darryl Fuhrman, Lettermen of the Iron Bowl executive director, said the event exceeded his expectations and
laid the groundwork for future speaker luncheons that will call attention to and raise awareness of the shelter’s needs. Former University of Alabama head football coach Ray Perkins traveled from Mississippi to support his former players who were at the luncheon. Perkins gave a short message inviting the crowd to make a difference in the lives of area homeless with a financial gift to the ministry. Other Iron Bowl alumni at the luncheon were Adlai Trone, Auburn University; Ray Bolden, Joe Dismuke, Kermit Kendrick and Bill Harrison, University of Alabama; and Jack Traffanstedt, former president of the University of Alabama’s A-Club. Among those helping with the event were shelter staff members Anita Jones, Kelly Wallace, Rob Davis, Anne Wright, Nicole Arlain and Clyde Chisholm. Marc Corsini of Corsini Consulting Group LLC was the emcee. Chuck Watkins of New Leaf Design videotaped the event for the Firehouse Shelter’s YouTube channel. ❖
