$2,500 Goal for Make-A-Wish Foundation
Can You Help?
We’re going on a 26.3-mile hike (in one day!) 🥾🌄🥾 to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation — our goal is to help grant wishes for children with critical illnesses (unfortunately, about half don’t get granted).
Our goal is to make this a “Team Mobile Rundown” thing, and we want you to play a role!!
These donors are helping make it happen!
Ruth McKee / John Bedsole / Stephanie G / David C / Mike Ward’s Liberty Safes / Clarence M / Marjie W

🪅Do Some Good
Mobile Ballet will present Sleeping Beauty March 23-24 at the Mobile Civic Center Theater, with performances on Saturday, March 23, at 7:00 pm, and Sunday, March 24, at 2:00 pm. The Saturday 7:00pm performance will feature the Mobile Ballet Orchestra playing the iconic score live, led by conductor David Ott.
Tchaikovsky’s glorious score and a cast of fantastical characters will captivate audiences, in this new adaptation by Katia Garza after the original by Marius Petipa. In this full-length ballet, the malevolent fairy Carabosse curses Princess Aurora to 100 years of slumber by a single prick of her finger on her 16th birthday. Doomed by fate, only a prince's loving kiss can break the evil spell and awaken the sleeping beauty. Mobile Ballet’s Sleeping Beauty will transport you on a mystical journey in this timeless story where good versus evil and the power of love overcomes all obstacles.
This enchanting ballet is a masterclass in the classical style, ideal for lifelong ballet lovers as well as newcomers. Outstanding guest artists will join the Mobile Ballet Company onstage, including principal dancer Nayara Lopes of Philadelphia Ballet as Princess Aurora, Daniel Benavides as Carabosse, and more.
Come experience classical ballet at its finest! Tickets are $22-$66 at www.mobileballet.org

🐶This Baby Needs a Mommy….😺
From Krewe de Rescue:
“Hi! My name is Gobo, my foster family calls me Cooper or Coop though and I like it pretty well. I was pulled from a local shelter in hopes of finding my perfect family. I’m active and playful and I’m doing well with crate training. My ideal home would have kids because I love them! I get along with cats and dogs too! My foster family and the vet thinks I’m a dachshund mix and I won’t be a big dog. I currently weight 6.8lbs. Please adopt me!
My adoption fee is $175 and includes age appropriate vaccines (at least two rounds) neuter and a microchip. Please complete the application here if you are interested in adopting me.”
