Proceeds from the event will benefit the organization, which was founded in September 2020 and is named after Hank Poore, a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy.

Last year, at the first iteration of the event, the Foundation raised more than $60,000.

Organizers said the proceeds will go directly to individuals in the community or support ongoing projects that promote inclusion and accessibility.

Tickets for the event range from $10 to $40, and children under the age of five will have free admission. Full-priced tickets will include an event t-shirt and two beer or wine tickets.

The Buddy Powell Pavilion is located at 4205 Northridge Road in Tuscaloosa.
