Now in its fourth year, Chirps and Chips continues to grow in popularity and is an important annual fundraising event for the Alabama Wildlife Center, hosted by Raptor Force – the Junior Board of AWC.
More than 300 people attended this year’s Chirps and Chips at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and enjoyed casino-style gaming, live music, food and beverages from local sponsors and a silent auction featuring entertainment packages, original art, vacation packages and sports packages.
Joe Piper, Inc. was the presenting sponsor. Other sponsors included American Printing Company, ArchitectureWorks, PowerSouth, Sovereign CPA Group LLC, Cahaba Beach Dog Park and Woodlawn Ice.
“Chirps and Chips 2015 was the most successful in the history of this fun and exciting event,” said Alabama Wildlife Center Executive Director Doug Adair. “AWC is very grateful to our incredible sponsors, all of the dedicated members of Raptor Force, and all of the wonderful volunteers who worked so hard to make this event a success.”
The money raised at Chirps and Chips goes toward the work of the AWC to rehabilitate and release injured native birds across Alabama.
